Exclude description while update part status

LogicNet
LogicNet 19 days ago

In Part Manager, when I run Update Part Status, Capture reports property mismatches between the schematic part and CIS. If I click Yes to update, all mapped properties get updated.
In my case, I want most properties to stay in sync with CIS, but the Description in the schematic is intentionally different. Once l accept the mismatch dialog, there doesn't seem to be any way to prevent Description from being updated.
Is there any option to exclude Description from Update Part Status, or remove it from the mismatch comparison? Or is this simply how Part Manager is designed?

    Update Part Status command is one of the interfaces between the database and the design. During an Update Part Status run, CIS finds the part number property assigned to a schematic symbol. CIS passes a query using the part number through ODBC. ODBC returns the properties associated with that part number from the database. The properties that are set as Transfer to Design in the CIS database configuration (.DBC) file are then compared with properties of the same name in the schematic symbol. If a discrepancy is found, CIS alerts the user with the Update Part dialog box that displays the schematic properties and database properties side by side with the discrepancy fields highlighted in red.
