If you use an asterisk, as in your bottom instance, it simply gives the generic value for that instance, whatever that is. Avoid asterisks and use hard numbers unless that's EXACTLY what you want to happen.

i have a bend part with 5 instances. As its length varies its flat length also varies. So i want to show flat length of each of the bend part in drawing. is it possible

Create a measurement between the ends of the part in the flat state and have it create a feature that stores the measurement; add the feature to the table. For the non-flat states, suppress the measurement. Create a parameter that is equal to the measurement. Add the parameter to the table.
