Bug Description
I have standardized on my user fields in making parts for parts list generation. I fill out all user fields and those I am not using I either enter ~ or N/A. I have seen that sometimes the first user field (in my case the Digikey order number) ends up in the Datasheet field. I am not certain if this always happens, or not.
I have tried entering ~ or a bogus file name in the data sheet field and this still happens, and the bogus entry is over written.
The part is fine in the module editor -- all fields are present and accounted for.
(I have yet to figure out how I desire to populate the data sheet field consistently).
This is seen in version 20100314 SVN-R2460. I am going to try 2010-05-05 today.

The above behavior is what I see looking at the component in the schematic. In the generated parts list, The footprint is there, but the first user field is overwritten with the second.... and the rest slide up one. Sorry any confusion.
