Is there a sort of limit on how these should be listed? The medium and thick
string is easy enough to untie from my experience, but when it comes to the thin
string
I have found it nearly impossible to untie this string from parts without damaging
the string.
So the question is what parts would be considered an acceptable counterpart?
There are some assemblies I imagine may not be counted as so, such as the drawbridge
string in Black Monarch's Castle (The string is tied to two pieces with various
pieces caught up in the middle) and the hook string in a few of the vintage pirate
ships (this is often strung through one of the mast segments)
I have noticed a few parts that have counterparts listed already, such as these
pieces:
I understand that it might be annoying, but the fishing pole rarely comes with
a string attached anymore, and the fishing pole isn't always used for a fishing
pole, which makes a counterpart that has string irrelevant

Interesting question. I don't think there are any guidelines or limits at
the moment but maybe we could discuss that as part of the catalog project #10
(Define Part Assemblies).

We would need to adress some of the assemblies with strings anyway because they
sometimes include parts or colors which are not part of the regular items section
(because the assemblies often have multiple parts with N/A colors or undetermined
string lengths - see example below). Unfortunately we don't have much these
days to move on with anything as we are completely overwhelmed with new parts
and set inventories.

I have noticed that some of these assemblies are not really up to snuff, as you
said with no colors applied or undetermined string length....I will probably
try and add a few of these assemblies to the catalog if I own the set in question.
Some of them may need to be deleted at some point or their inventory changed
and applied as a counterpart to the correct sets.
I would only bother applying this to the thin string, I think.....I have never
had a problem untieing medium string, it loosens very easily with no fraying.

Feel free to submit whatever you want. But new parts (from sets released this
month) and inventories have priority so it may take some time until things like
string assemblies will be processed.
