Actually, maybe I see what I am doing wrong. I have created a number of symbols and have included information in the schematic symbol definition, things like vendor and vendor part number. This was all done in the symbol editor.
When I put a component on the schematic and run the BOM generator, the extra information that I have included with the symbol does not appear on the BOM. However, it does appear if I add the information while in the schematic tool. Then it works great. It would seem that Kicad should use the information from the schematic symbol definition as its default. Am I thinking correctly?
