Hi Oliver,

I have a patch to fix this now - if a field is empty and a template
value exists, that is placed there instead.
Also, editing Multipart components is a little quirky, If you
change a field for a multi-part component, all "parts" update to
that value, but if any parts have different values, only one is
shown in the table and its not clear that the underlying multipart
field is inconsistent.
This is a hard one as really, multi-part components should /not/ have
different values in various fields! I had thought about adding another
level (with an arrow as you suggest) but I think it becomes too
complicated.
Yes, I agree with you on this, Its confusing that KiCad doesn't
synchronise those fields. BUT I think maybe its done that way to help
facilitate swapping parts between multiple multi-part components.
Maybe a developer who knows more about this can weigh in? Is having
different field value/fields in a single multi-part component a
"Feature" or a "Quirk"? And if a "Feature" what's its purpose?
