Add Description Field To Generated BOM #162

Closed dbeckwith01 closed 2 years ago

dbeckwith01 commented 2 years ago

I'm having some trouble getting KiBoM to output the Description field of a part. It seems to that KiCad has two descriptions related to a part. See the image below for what I'm referring too. I want to get the field name "Description" highlighted not the one that's part of <libsource>

Thanks,

Any thoughts on how to get the Field description?

Hi @dbeckwith01 ! You just selected a wrong name for your own purposes, Description is reserved for the description found in the library. Rename your field to something diferent. I use desc.

@set-soft Thanks for the help, that make sense.
