Text favourites do not store the actual text values, just the text format - size, colour, font, layer, etc.
Favourites for autotext labels do contain the text values as well.
If you want standard notes, have them all laid out in another file and copy & paste to your current job.
Or set up a lot of label favourites.

What do you mean by text value? I have loads of favourites with predefined text for items we commonly label such as wall ties, concrete cavity fill. We have lots of pre-defined description notes that are common across lots of projects.

You can create favorites with text values in the label's favorites.
It was asked if there is a favorite character with contents such as comments in Text.

We’ve got loads of text favourites set up for standard notes that retain the text content.

As a label or an object maybe?
But the text tool does not remember the actual text that is typed, so the favourite can't either.
If I am mistaken about this, I am happy to be educated as to how you do it.

Hi Barry,
They are definitely labels.
