Can I have multiple attribute change by a selected variant?

The (soon to be released) version 0.2.0 will be able to do this.

You can download/clone the current main branch and run the release.sh in the source folder to create release files and test the current implementation. The code is more or less complete, it's just the documentation that still needs work.

See #62 for installation hints.

If you're interested in a (more or less official) pre-release, then I can generate one here on GitHub.

Pay attention to read the matching version of the documentation. The main branch is still for 0.1.x releases. When testing the 0.2.0 code, you'd need to read the documentation on the dedicated 0.2.0 documentation branch.

It includes a migration guide that should explain the most important changes vs. versions 0.1.x.

For a quick start, I adapted your example to use the correct syntax below.

KiVar 0.2.0+ allows two formats. One lists the choice names in the field content (right) side (very similar to the "classic" format of version 0.1.x). The other format can be used for long strings (such as datasheet URLs) and lists the choice names in the field name (left) side.

If you'd like to use the short (classic) format, try this:

Field Name	Field Content
Var	Test1(3k) Test2(1k) TestAspect
MPN.Var	Test1(xxcvcx) Test2(yyyxy)
SPECS.Var	Test1("3k/0402/1%") Test2("1k/0402/5%")

Or, if you prefer a more verbose notation (con: it clutters the list of your available fields, for example in the Symbol Fields Editor, because you get a lot of different field names in all your components), then use this - or use a mixture of both formats as you like:

Field Name	Field Content
Var.Aspect	TestAspect
Var(Test1)	3k
Var(Test2)	1k
MPN.Var(Test1)	xxcvcx
MPN.Var(Test2)	yyyxy
SPECS.Var(Test1)	"3k/0402/1%"
SPECS.Var(Test2)	"1k/0402/5%"

If questions arise, don't hesitate to ask. :)

Tested, and works perfectly! Thanks!

I used the following example values:

Field	Value
Var	Var1(3k) Var2(1k) Var3(DNP -!) R1_aspect
MPN.Var	Var1(MPN1Value) Var2(MPN2Value) Var3(None)
SPECS.Var	Var1(3k/0402/1%) Var2(1k/0402/5%) Var3(None)
Value	DNP
MPN	None
SPECS	None

Thanks! I will try this out soon.

Nice.

If you want to assign an empty string in the DNP case (might look cleaner than "None"), just assign an empty quoted string, such as '' or "" (support for double-quotes is new). Example: Var3('').

Regarding the alignment of your displayed fields: Try pressing O on your component, so that all fields are aligned automatically. Currently, MPN and SPECS seem to be right-aligned (or rotated) centered.
