Using the hole table in a drawing of a composite part

I am currently drawing up plans for a new balcony, which includes drawings of two composite parts that also have a number of holes in them.

In order to keep the drawing somewhat tidy, I'd like to use a hole table, however it seems like this is not possible with composite parts(?). In the part studio, all the holes are listed correctly for my composite part, but when trying to add one to my drawing, I cannot select a view.

Is there any workaround to this?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I have the same issue in a welded fabrication that I'd like to use a hole chart for!

    Is there a workaround for this that anyone has found or has an improvment request been made?

    Same issue for me. This seems like a fairly common issue that one may run into. My example is the back plate of an custom electrical panel. Quite a few (~60) holes of varying sizes for varying electrical components that sometimes aren't in line with each other. The sheet metal/weldment includes a couple of welded gussets into the sheet metal which makes it composite. Some select few holes are intended to be post-weld machined, but most of them can be cut out on the laser. I'd like to use a hole table for 90% of these holes. I understand it's possible to put dimensions to every hole, but between hole callouts, dimensions, and centerlines between hole patterns, the drawing gets messy really fast.
