Configurable Properties

Happy new year everyone!
I´ve got a general question about the configurable properties. If I want to configure the properties in a partstudio, all existing configurations automatically pull in.
If I want to configure the properties in an assembly, I have to manually add all existing configurations. And if I dont add every single config by hand, I cant change the description (in this case) in any other config.
@NeilCooke can you tell me why? Whats the reason behind this?
Thank you
Best regards,
Axel Kollmenter

Configuratons are related to all parts in a Part Studio, you are actually configuring the Part Studio.
Hence if you have four configurations you get 4 x 4 parts.
If you use more Part Studios, one part in each, maybe it will be easier for you ??
However if you edit properties from a BOM table for a configured part, it will create a row in the configured part properties for the configuration you are editing so maybe that's why you already had some entries in there?
for some instances, the newly available feature to 'exclude from properties' may be a solution. But only in part studio's and only if the variations of those configurations are not relevant for the BOM either.
Exclude from properties introduction
This issue occurs more often. also in assemblies.
What if you'd want to add a property to the assembly, regardless of the configuration?
I'd love it if in 'configured properties' for parts or assemblies a wildcard "*" would be available that would imply all configurations for that variable.
