BOMs

I have a BOM list in an assembly and I have excluded a few items. When trying to include these items again it appears that I have to include each item one at a time, even when selecting several rows at once.
Is there a way to include or exclude several items at once?
I did try to delete the BOM and start again but couldn't find a way to do this either.
Can the BOM be deleted?

To me this is fundamentally broken and I can’t understand why it was implemented this way.Simon Gatrall | Product Development, Engineering, Design, Onshape | Ex- IDEO, PCH, Unagi, Carbon | LinkedIn

I don't believe there is any other way to do it. With the 'exclude from BOM' property being linked to each part, you lose the properties option from the drop-down when you multi-select. It would be better if this option were connected to the assembly, and not each part.
I found an issue where I have a part in two different assemblies, one I want in the BOM and one I don't like in the BOM; I have to keep toggling the option. If it were linked to just the assembly, this wouldn't happen. I don't use it enough to be bothered too much.
You could request it as an improvement.0 -
Many thanks for the info, you're right it would be better to link the BOM to the assembly, I wonder why it's not....
It makes using BOMs a bit of a pain
