Make a BOM export include the netname field for each component?

WAB1

We have dedicated test point components that are a single pin component and I'd like to generate a BOM output that lists all of the Test Point components along with the netname value.

I get the BOM export to show the test points easily enough, but cant figure out how to make the net name be included in the export.  When I look at each test point property I can see that the netname field / value exists, but cant see how to get it on the BOM as netname doesn't seem to be a vaild field type.

    The easy solution is to open the board in Orcad/Allegro then generate a "Component Pin Report".   

    You can select the data with formatting and paste it into MS Excel.   

    Excel breaks it up into rows/columns.  Easy to delete data you don't need.

    This could be a good SKILL application.   But, SKILL documentation for accessing netlist information is unfortunately, nonexistent.   

    If a SKILL 'find' function works, there is a script I shared over on the SKILL group that shows how I process netlist info from DRC errors.
