Have you ever noticed.....

linked notes on the sheet format picking up values from the part in a
quirky manner. Specifically:
1. Custom properties filled in with all required information (around
ten properties)
2. Config Specific custom properties filled in with placeholder text
"-".
3. Notes tied to part via $prpsheet:{PartNo}
4. Notes show config specific values "-".
5. Deleting individual config specific values does not allow
CustomProperty values to show through.
6. Deleting all config specific values allows Custom Property values to
show through.
7. Adding Config specific custom props one at a time does not now
override ordinary custom props.
