Back referencing section titles?/ Add parameter to GDL title

Anonymous

Hi...
i'm v novice at using GDL code. Here's my questions

I created a title (from drawing elements which i saved as a title object)
It includes an auto text for drawing number (standard stuff)

Question 1: can i create an automatic back reference? ie As the section marker automatically tells what sheet the section is on, can the section title tell from what sheet it came?

Question 2: if not, can i add a text parameter to the title object, and a line in the GDL script somewhere so i can manually add the text to the title in the title settings dialogue.

I don't want to simple add text to the layout on top of the title (incase i move the drawing, and not select the text also)

hope that made sense!

thanks for your thoughts!

Thanks for that, I am one step closer it seems my only Title that allows back referencing to work is the "Square Title 19" others have back-referencing either greyed out or no option for it.

Is there perhaps a title I can download that already has this stuff working correctly, or a link to a website with steps on how to achieve back referenced details?

Lastly this back reference thing has been around for quite a few versions of archicad I would have thought Graphisoft could come up with their own code to get back referencing working by now without all this difficulty I have been trying to achieve working automated back referencing since version 11 if I remember correctly.
