USE DERIVE FEATURE TO DERIVE PART STUDIO VARIABLES

I was just thinking it would be very useful to be able to use the derive feature to also derive part studio variables in to another part studio. In my case, I often have a configured master part studio. I then derive parts from the master into other studios. I usually also configure the single part studio to drive the derived features configuration inputs. If I was able to derive certain variables in along with the part like we currently can with sketches and planes, I would be able to perform addition work on the derived part using the logic that came in with the derived variable. If we can derive sketches and planes, why stop the derive feature there. Why not allow deriving of variables? All this talk of global variables. This could sort of work just like global variables.

Thanks so much! I completely assumed for some reason deriving variables would be out of bounds of featurescript.
I'm unsure how this feature works. I don't seem to be getting the variables coming in. I have checked the box and assigned a prefix but no variables are coming through.
Thanks for the response. In creating a sample document I discovered it was working. I think in my original attempt I may has accidentally included a space in the prefix or something.
