Spoke too soon. Still doesn't copy the Charcter01 fields to/from ECOMtl<->PartMtl.

Entered a called into EpicWeb after waiting on the phone until I was booted into voicemail...

While EpicWeb is currently down, I'll ask the group. I want to use a
couple of ShortChars and Number01 on PartMtl. The only way to maintain
these fields is through the Engineering WB (well, maybe not the only
way but the preferred way). I added the UD fields to EcoMtl but when I
Check-In, I don't see any values moved to PartMtl. If I check out,
those fields are blank. I seem to remember that there was something
one had to do to get teh EcoMtl UD fields to copy to the PartMtl
fields. A BPM maybe?

Thanks for any input!

OK, now I remember: System Maintenance | Utilities | Custom Field Map

One has to map source fields to target fields and then it works.
