I haven't needed to do this yet but I have been wondering about having new columns in here myself!
You can do it from within the "assign material" dialogue under "custom" but that doesn't let you add it to the library so you'd have to do it manually every time!

Ugh. We're in the process of adding materials to our library. If the strengths etc can't be in the library, that's crazy.
I do note a distinct lack of important columns in this tech tip and video.https://www.onshape.com/en/resource-center/tech-tips/tech-tip-how-to-create-custom-material-libraries-in-onshape
The help is a little confusing:https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/material_library.htm#Creating
The standard library has columns for all the values:
When I export the .CSV, there are columns and values for all strengths. Presumably, if I add a custom library in this format then I would be able to get the right info in?Has anyone done this since simulation was added? Can the tech tip be updated?Simon Gatrall | Product Development, Engineering, Design, Onshape | Ex- IDEO, PCH, Unagi, Carbon | LinkedIn

In the last conversation I had with support, the ability to add strengths to our materials library at this level was still coming1
