Yes, I know. But I can`t export renamed name of field. I can`t add more field than default value. I want add some field like Field9, Field10... > > 2. Export any fields to BOM list - value and name.

I must define for each component: Market name, number in store, price, vendor, manufacturer part name, replacement with same field. For socket need other part.

Thank you. I can`t find this field when see early. With my best regards, Dmitry Belimov. Elphel Inc. http://www.elphel.com
