No, I don't think so.
In your logic, check the soft type and add the required logic to set the icon. If the conditions are not met, simply return super.

Hi @GP_13665873,

When you say the entry is not being propagated to service.properties
In which XCONF file have you registered the property?
Have you run xconfmanager -p after adding the entry?
After running xconfmanager -p, did you restart the server?
Could you please share the XCONF entry you added?

Hello @TDT

Yes I have executed a xconfmanager -p
below is the entry I have updated.
<Service context="default" name="wt.fc.IconDelegate" targetFile="codebase/service.properties">
<Option cardinality="duplicate" requestor="wt.part.WTPart" serviceClass="ext.custom.util.CustomIconDelegate"/>
</Service>

we are using custom xconf file and it is registered one its name is codebase/ext/config/xxxConfiugration.xconf
I can see that an existing out-of-the-box (OOTB) entry is already available, as shown below.
It should override this.

wt.services/svc/default/wt.fc.IconDelegate/null/wt.part.WTPart/0=com.ptc.windchill.enterprise.part.commands.delegate.WTPartIconDelegate/duplicate
Yes server is restarted.

Do you see any errors or messages when running xconfmanager -p in windchill shell or MS logs?
Also, are you able to find the text CustomIconDelegate in service.properties?
