The "promote" option for the BOM seems extremely particular. I discovered today that when a subassembly is set to promote parts in the BOM, it only works when the subassembly is in the Default configuration. This is very limiting and annoying. Has anyone found a work-around for this, or is there some box to check or uncheck, or a programmer to shoot? This is the second bug I've found in the "promote" command and it's getting extremely annoying.
It only works in the Defualt configuration because that is the one you are referencing. Promoting child items is configuration specific.
