Problem statement

I am creating several parts in 1 folder and adding them to the BOM of a part that is in a different folder. The names of the sub parts are similar and somewhat long. It would be great if I could:

1. Navigate to a folder when adding BOM items instead of having to search through a flat list of ALL components in my database
2. Select several parts that I want to add as BOM items to another part (this could either assume that I want to the default addition options and a quantity of 1, or it could queue up the addition pages and let me input the quantity I want for each of them).

Suggested solution

Add category filtering to component search when adding BOM items. Allow for multiple component selection for adding BOM items.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Ordering the components listed based on the subcategory that the part is in could be helpful, but still not ideal as the searching window is quite small.

@realstudent01 this would be possible, although I'm not sure how the user interface work work around this. Would you be willing to provide an implementation of this for the new user interface?
