Melanie,
Nagham,
This KiCAD issue has been closed as the developers feel they have found a solution for what they call "Support 1:N links between symbols and footprints/BOM items"
This issue is the same as the case of the LCD display on GPAD and Krake and Mini MP3 player on Krake.
and the OLED display in MoonRatII,
and multipart enclosure with hardware on all projects.
We should learn how to apply this solution.
