I have an issue with symbols not automatically updating their attribute text which I can replicate the error.
I have a symbol that has three unique attributes, Lets say Colour, Temperature, Area.
That symbol has ~3 different part numbers.
Part Number 1 [Primary] contains the Colour Attribute
Part Number 2 contains the Temperature attribute
Part Number 3 contains the Area attribute
When placing the symbol down for the first time and either manually adding each of the parts or by using a family (which in turn automatically adds the parts), after clicking 'Ok', each of the attributes is correctly populated.
If I replace Part Number 2 with another part number that contains a different value, this attribute text is not automatically updated - it's only updated if I change the part AND set it as primary at the same time.
Is it possible for each of the attributes to automatically update each time the part is swapped?
Hello Adam. This is a known issue and is a combination of an Enhancement 133234 regarding taking symbol attributes from secondary part numbers and Defect 766316 which concerns symbol attribute updates when changing already assigned part numbers. The current work around is to have the part with the symbol text be the primary part, as you also discovered. I do not have a date for when these two items might be incorporated into a future build of the software at this time.

Hi Tani,
This is quite a big bug for us, since its a visual way that allows a number of team members to verify the drawings (and in turn the parts).
Any weight you can throw behind this to getting it completed would be greatly appreciated
