Using Text Templates

I can use text templates to automatically label a part in a drawing with the part number and description pulled from the CATPart.

However I want the text template to pull the CATProduct's part number but it always wants to give the part within the subassembly rather than the subassembly name itself.

ie - if Product 123 contains Part456 I want the text template to point to Product 123 rather than the Part 456.

Any ideas?
