Invisible Power Pins on Parts B, C., . . . in Multiple Package Parts

I have created a schematic symbol in Capture 16.6 by copying an existing dual op-amp symbol and making modifications for an op-amp package that has an exposed die pad (EP). I would like to have the V+, V-, and EP appear on package A only, and not package B. When I place package A, everything looks as it should - power pins present with short lines and numbers. However, when I place package B, the previously-defined power pins 84 & 8) are invisible as desired, but I can see the pin 9 line with no pin number. I would like to have NO pin line showing. As far as I can tell, the properties for pins 4, 8, and 9 are the same. What is the trick to make this happen?

Thanks in advance.

If you have selected the option of homogenous while designing the symbol then 5 pins will appear in both parts. Go for a heterogeneous package and define the power pins and IO in part A and rest in part B

Thanks, Avenger Thanos. This approach worked fine, and I can forge ahead. However, I would still like to understand how the original part, which was defined as homogeneous, managed to have the two pins (4 & 8) disappear in package B. THAT is the trick I'd like to know . . .
