CADSharp - We make custom features and integrated Onshape apps! cadsharp.com/featurescripts 💎
So, the document, part studio, and part name might all be something like "PRT-10015 Axle Spacer" and then the description for the part is just "Axle Spacer". Then, in our BOMs, we just have a "description" column and take out the "name" column. This means our descriptions aren't long and aren't as useful, and the occasional typo will trip us up causing things to not match, but in general, this has been working OK.
Ideally - It would be awesome to extend the ideas from "export rules" to apply to the parts lists in part studios and assemblies (ie. create "display name rules"). Then, we could keep the right information in the right place.
