How to include parameters in copy geometry to be used in new part BOM

Hi all,

I am on Creo Parametric 8.0.5.0. I am attempting to give a skeleton part a parameter, create published geometry of it, use copy geom in another part to pull in geometry and this parameter, and then display this parameter on the drawing in a pre-established repeat region. This needs to be done with as little adjustments to the top level part as possible.

I've accomplished half of this so far by creating the parameter at the surface, body, or curve level of the skeleton part so it is included in the published geometry. When I pull the published geometry into a part using copy geom, the parameter appears in the part if I look at parameters at all sublevels of the part. However, the BOM repeat region that I am using uses mdl.param.name to find and add items with a certain prefix to the repeat region. I am assuming that it is reading parameters made at the part level NOT at feature, surface, etc level so it will not populate anything coming from the copy geom parameters since they are not at the part level.

Any suggestions on how to accomplish this? Thanks!
