Can I to add measures of the Part Bounds in the BOM List?

Hi everyone,
I really like the automatic table generated in Part Studio files that shows the Part Bounds — specifically the length, width, and thickness. I find this very useful and would love to include these dimensions in the BOM list of an Assembly.
Is there a way to do this automatically, or has anyone found a good workflow to bring these dimensions into an Assembly BOM?
Thanks in advance!

You can use computed properties:

You can adapt the example in the article to use a bounding box instead of the volume calculation.
If you don't feel comfortable with featurescript, I sell a large library of computed properties (featuring lots of common computed properties):

What Caden said is the way to go. I recommend saving yourself some time and getting his library of computed properties.
There are other ways too. With Onshape, there are usually multiple ways to do things. Another way is to use the Measure Cut List feature to assign the part dimensions to the Description or Name property of the part.
If you want even more control, it's also possible to measure the boundary of a part (Aligned Bounding Box) and set normal properties or custom properties with the Property / Attribute custom feature.

Hi, thanks for your response.
I'm trying to do what Caden_Armstrong suggested, but I don't know where the problem is in my code.
I've coded before, but never in FeatureScript. Here's my code — could you please help me?
This is my code:
Thanks
