Comment 12 for bug 592578

I understand your desire to keep synchronized meta-data between
schematic and pcb. And it seems natural that once you are able to do
that you would be 'show' a piece of meta data on the board.

Anyway, the work-around is to put the text on the board manually as you
have been doing, rather than using the custom fields and trying to keep
them synchronized.

Not a bug until it becomes a feature... :)
