Bulk component edition on schematic and BOM exclussion

Hello everyone:
I want congratulate for the new Bulk-edit and BOM generator in 8.xx kicad. I think that is good the integration of both tools. Both tools are very similar and is right reuse software for both things.

But they has one single difference: The components marked like “exclude of bom”. Normally i use the Bulk-edit to verify the components in the circuit.As final check
-Check Footprint assigned
-Add MPN the components that require this
-Fix Mistakes like 10uF and 10UF and 10uF/16v for differents components.
-Components marked as excluded of the BOM.

In the join of bulk edit, and BOM generator is missing “Show no BOM” field at the left.
I imagine that is possible add as ${BOM} or something similar.

Also Output XLS must be greatelly appreciated, but has very lower priority since libreoffice open very well.

Thanks to all

Add a field . . .

${EXCLUDE_FROM_BOM }

I agree . . . and allow for a BOM.xls template to be used, would save me a lot of BOM post processing when I have multiple variants.

Excellent !!. Now I need an easy way to add on all projects. Maybe a “special fields” link in the ADD box or etc, or listed as default.

Thanks you
