Edit multiple text labels on detail drawings in one go

Hi all, Is there any way to edit multiply text labels on drawing?

For example if I have around 25 sheets with different metalwork types and a label saying "Architectural Metalwork. To be PCC to RAL 3015" on every sheet, and at some point the actual RAL changes, is there any way to edit all of these labels across all the sheets in one go instead of going through every sheet and edit them manually?

Autotext perhaps?

Thanks

There is such a function called "Search and Replace Text".

The "standard" workflow is to use or create a property that will have the information, ie "RAL Finish…"

This property will be applied to the object with the specified text.
Apply the label to the object which will read the property using autotext.
To change the text edit the property of the object either by selecting them or using a schedule
All labels will autoupdate to the new text.

OTOH if you are placing "dumb" text labels then @Turit suggestion is the solution.
