Show part number of standard contents

I filled in the "part number" field in the "properties" tab of the standard content but, unlike what happens with personal part files, this property is not shown in the assembly list (see picture attached).
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to display this property?
Thanks to anyone who will be able to answer my question.

Yes! I would love to see this. Standard content is not handled exactly the same way as other parts as it relates to naming, part numbers, etc. and it can lead to confusion. We especially see these issues in releases. When we release an item with internally configured standard content (e.g. names and P/Ns) it doesn't show up in the release. This confuses our downstream ERP systems/processes and requires extra work to drill down into the Onshape BOM. It would be great if standard content could be treated more like internal components in this regard.
IDK if this will help you, what I did is added a company wide part property called "vendor PN". It shows up in the standard content properties as well. On my BOM table (both in 3D and 2D) I have a column for it.
I don't use the properties display in the Tree. They always confused me, so I turned them off after giving them a chance for a week when they came out.
