'Available Part Properties' in part manager, and sorting by hierarchical occurance in PM

Hi, 

I am wondering how to get a property into the 'available part properties' list when using Part Managers 'configure part properties display'. My end goal is to sort all the common parts by Page occurance. PM defaults to display the schematic, however this does not differentiate between occurances of the schematic when using hierarchical blocks. I tried to create a property for the design by RMB>Edit Object Properties on the .dsn and adding a new property, which I was going to use to differentiate the occurances, however this property is not available int the 'available part properties' list.

Please let me know if you have advice.
Thanks
Jeff

    Amazing. That worked thank you. 

    Do you know how the part manager can be organized by schematic page occurrence? Rather than just Schematic page? Other than creating a custom property and assigning it to all parts in that schematic page occurrence?

    You can manually type the name of your property in the Configure Part Properties Display GUI which will add it to the list which should resolve your issue.
