Generate BOM with custom Field "Name"

Schematic
1

I have recently updated kicad to v6.02 in linux mint 20.3
Have configured Schematic Editor to add manf# in “Field Name Templates”

When try generate BOM the default installed is “bom_csv_grouped_by_value” and “bom_csv_grouped_by_value_with_fp”.
When open the CSV file doesn’t appear the column with manf#.

What can do to appear manf# in the CSV?

Thanks

bom2csv will list the added fields. I don’t know how to sort for particular fields though.

Not an easy way, you will need to modify python bom script to your taste (write your own, with reference to preshipped ones). I am using my own highly customized script long time ago, so don’t have a clue if any easier method is available now. Pleae see this discussion: BOM Script: a way to exclude part from BOM by custom field

My bom script (can be used as an example): https://github.com/WhiteChairFromIkea/KiCad_PartsBox_BOM
