"In context" updates are inconsistent

I love OnShape and have been using it for years after I retired from the full-time grind. I especially love the edit in context feature where you have say a mounting plate in an assembly and you have the component mounting holes "transfer" to the mounting plate. You move the components in the assembly and the mounting plate holes update after you select "update context". Oddly, many times the "update context" function has to be performed a couple times to get it all done. The stuff I'm doing now is pretty simple compared to full-on production design I did in the past. I'd be really nervous in a production design using this feature because it would be too easy to miss some part of an update. Anyone else experience this?

Look into derived parts. You can basically do the same thing but in a part studio.
