    There is not a direct way to do this that I know of. However, it is possible to control the "Description" property of those parts with your configurations using Set property - custom feature. Let me know if you need some help with it.

    John and Raj have the better approaches for this ⬇️

    You can also just set the tooth count to a configured property. You can see the tab on the top of your first photo

    You can use computed custom properties to propagate "Number of Teeth" to a custom property and then use it in the drawing
