Sheetmetal Properties Description disappears.

Unread post by Damo »

I have had this issue pop up from time to time since the very first version of SW I used daily (2014).
Essentially, I like to use the weldment description to detail my sheetmetal components in multi-body parts.
There is very useful code that can be linked to thickness and coupled with text that can be pasted from my clipboard history, saves a lot of ambiguity in the cutlist and BOMs

Every now and then this "Description" field will blank and revert to the default "Sheet".
It is then a process of going thru the cutlist properties and re-applying the description text so the cut-list and BOMs on drawings don't just say "Sheet".

It does this exclusively to Sheetmetal parts. It does not happen to the description fields of weldment items, boss extrudes, revolves, sweeps, surfaces, etc.

Has anyone else experienced this, or isolated the circumstances that cause it.
I have been reasonably happily playing away on 2022SP5 and have not encountered this issue for some time, until today.
