Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: When clicking Remove in Part Structure, the prompt does not display the part number. The prompt only shows the part name instead of both the name and the number

Description:

Hello,

It could be very helpfull to be possible to display both part number and name in prompt when removing an part in Bom.

Today, when clicking Remove in Part Structure, the prompt does not display the part number.

Confused here. Screenshot. When you remove a part, the number and name are listed.

Hi @vschmaltz,

When I click the Remove action in the Part Structure (PSB tab), it displays only the part name.

Would you also like the part number to be displayed?

I am curious to understand the requirement, as the user is already selecting the part to remove and the part number is visible in the structure.

Is there a specific reason for wanting the part number to be shown again? What additional value would this provide?

This is a known issue documented in article https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS162672 and there is product Idea that you cab vote for

@Fadel this is no longer open to vote and was archived.  It really is a no brainer that it should be that way.  It really should have been there from the beginning of time.  Sometimes the things that seem logical shouldn't need a vote.

@BrianToussaint  I agree with you , but I'm from technical support ,I have no decision on how the software should be enhanced, you can refer to Product Ideas @ PTC Community and consider posting a new idea.

@Fadel I know that you are from support and appreciate all that you provide on here.  I was hoping someone in mgt would see the comments and just act.  I have created a new idea here: https://community.ptc.com/t5/Windchill-Ideas/Add-Number-to-Confirmation-Box-When-Deleting-An-Item-From/idi-p/1055578#M19868

But having been in and around PTC products for 36+ years, I don't see it going far unless it gets a lot of votes.  I remember the days when some things would get "fixed" without needing an idea.
