Bug Description
Creating and moving custom Field names of Library parts works well (Thanks). But creating a BOM ends up with the default field names instead of the custom ones in the header:
With the following settings:
checked - Components by Reference
Selected - Output format = Text for spreadsheet
Field sep = tab
Checked - System fields - footprint
Checked - All existing users fields
The header is :
ref value footprint Field1 Field2 Field3 Field4 Field5 Field6 Field7 Field8
This also creates a BOM that is sorted by the Fx Field list number instead of being sorted by the custom field names.
This is related, but not the same as the problem Brian worked out a patch for - I worked around the same limitation by creating a template part - but ended up changing the order of the fields in lib edit Fields properties dialog by pressing "move up" . Thus if one of the custom field names is "Price" and it is in F8 for one part but F9 in another the BOM is rather scambled.
At this point there are lots of custom field names in use in various order so I think it would be good to sort the report by the custom field name when it is generated.
This is on Build: (2010-05-11 BZR 2372)-unstable
