include spreadsheet

I am trying to include a spreadsheet provided attribute in my renaming rule.

My plan was to add a column in each desired component's spreadsheet like "PART_SIZE" and either include an abbreviated size or leave blank for the components where it wouldn't make sense. For example, in my UNC screws spreadsheet I would have"1_4-20" for my 1/4-20 UNC screws.

Going to file>utilities>customer defaults>mold wizard> part naming definition>[custom part naming rules box];
the default we have entered is this:

<PROJECT_NAME>_<TEMPLATE_NAME>_?????

I want to update to the following or similar to include my size attribute:

<PROJECT_NAME>_<TEMPLATE_NAME>_<PART_SIZE>_?????

Is this possible, or am I kidding myself?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
