That is humorous. I think the field is named "Sheet" not Subsheet. 
I have been using it as a place to store the name of a PDF datasheet for 
the part. I have a BOM extractor I wrote in Java which creates a 
CSV. The CSV can get loaded into a spreadsheet and contains the 
datasheet *.PDF name as one of the columns. I never could figure out 
what "Sheet" meant, so I came up with my own meaning I guess. :-)

What if we renamed to field to "Datasheet" and left it fixed?
