Using a derived composite part in a part studio NOT assembly

I have search for an answer to this question but the answers all discuss assemblies NOT parts.
I have a PCBA with 300 parts. In it's part studio I create a closed composite part so that it is one part.
In another part studio I try to use this composite part ad derived. However when I select the composite part studio it explodes it back into 300 pieces ignoring the composite I did previously. There has got to be a way to import this into a part studio as a single entity.
Help?

Hey Shannon. I just tried the same within one of my own documents and the composite part remained intact. Please post a link to your document. - Scotty
@shannon_gomes653 Without seeing your document I can only guess what's happening but here's my guess:
The source part studio is probably an open composite part, meaning there is a composite of the pcb, but it still has all of the individual components. Then I assume that when you derive it, you're selecting the whole part studio, not expanding it to only choose the composite. If I'm right, your solution is to either make the pcb a closed composite in the source studio or manually only choose the composite part to derive.
