Modify Workorder parts material

In the Processing Center screen could the functionality to change the material of an individual part row be added? The modify work order screen for adding material size and changing material name has been very useful but I was wondering if Microvellum could go one step further with this functionality. My thought was a drop down arrow for each part in the material name column that would allow a user to select a different material for an individual row. The dropdown would only show material of exactly the same thickness in the work order database that could be selected to preserve all machining functions. This functionality could be turned off by default but the user could turn it on in the modify work order screen with an additional button that may be needed to revert all parts to the default material which would change everything back to what came in at work order creation in the event of user error. A message box warning users this only changes material for future batches and does not affect previously run batches may be necessary as well when it is turned on. We are nesting hpl parts and this would be useful in the event of switching parts from a liner up on the nest to color up without having to manually move the parts.
