Schematic doesn't get updated

[FantomXR]

Hey,
again the plugin is great. But its not working properly at my side. I'm working on Mac.
While the graphical issues have been solved which is great, I now have the problem, that the plugin does not update the schematic.

Here is what I do:
I open up the board (schematic is closed). I open up the plugin. I select a part and toggle BOM. If I open the part inside the board, I can now see that the BOM has been toggled. So far so good.
Now I do "Export to schematic" to write the new settings to the schematic.

If I now open the schematic, the new settings have not been overtaken and if I update now the board from the schematic, the new setting gets overwritten by the schematic.

Same is valid for other things like LSCS part number... I guess this is valid for all settings.

Is my workflow wrong?

Thanks,
Chris

Hi,

the export to schematic function s kind of hacky. KiCAD does not provide a proper API to write to the schematic.
They intended to come up with such an API for V7 but postponed it for V8.
But I doubt that it will make it in V8 as I've not seen even a early alpha of said API.

I cannot inverst time in a feature that is about to be changed anyway soon.

My workflow is to add LCSC numbers manually to the schematic. I totally see that this makes a large part of the plugin kind of useless, but my spare time is so limitid that we will have to live with that until the API lands.

Sorry that I cannot provide a more satisfying solution ...
