You can edit the BOM parameters directly in the BOM on the drawing. My suggestion would be to go through the BOM and edit them there, it is quick and easy.
Ok, maybe not quick and easy, but much quicker than trying to do it to each part file.
OK, I'm seeing 2 different things happening here. If I slow-double-click rename the virtual part in the assembly tree, it lets me rename the part but then adds the ^assemblyname back on when I hit return. If I edit the BOM directly, choosing "Keep Link", it successfully renames the BOM cell but the name in the tree is unchanged. It actually sets the config "user defined name" and is stored there. Thanks.
