Hi Jake,
I am not sure if you can solve this one with Foreign Properties. For most MPP users I have seen, the ProcessPlan number often matched the Part Number so users were able to directly search ProcessPlans with this number.
I would solve this one by Method, there are two options:
1. Save the Part number in a custom property in the ProcessPlan when users add/update the mpp_ProcessPlanProducedPart item.
2. Federated Property. Just display the Part number in the ProcessPlan with using a federated property and an onAfterGet Method
First one is a bit better when it it comes to performance, cause you only trigger the Method when user customize the Produced Part. Federated properties are more comparable to the Foreign type, where you just do some kind of live linking of data without storing data.
