Function in BOM

Hello

It's my day questions...^^

I have created a file property on "accessory" parts in which I fill in for example the number of screws it takes to fix the part.

I get this information in the nomenclature of the drawing of my assembly.

Depending on the case, it turns out that I have several identical pieces, Quantity 2 Alpha pieces for example

Is there a method to multiply the number of Alpha parts by the number of Screws.

for example if a part needs 4 screws and I have 2 times this part in quantity in my nomenclature, I would like to be able to have a column summarizing the sum, i.e. 8 screws ...

I know that it is possible to add up a column, see here:

Or here:

But to make the sum of properties for a part, I don't think it's possible, maybe see the equations:

Hello

Normally if you have an alpha for 4 screws the nomenclature follows if it's an assembly you made and if not can just fiddle with by making a circular repetition of the screws so that they overlap.

4

No, from what I understand, it's not the real quantity but a personalized property...
