Is it possible to use the name of the clone folder in a drawing title

When documenting a multistory building I will use several "clone folders" in the view map for generating the various plans needed.

When setting up a layout on a sheet, within the "Drawing Title" is there a tag similar to <DRAWINGNAME> which i could use to reference the view map title of the Clone Folder?

 

Ie <DRAWINGFOLDER> : <DRAWINGNAME> to auto title "Fire Plans : Ground Floor"

 

Operating system used: Windows 10

AFAIK there is no built-in AutoText tag that directly references the name of a View Map folder or Clone Folder to be referenced within your drawing title.


The available AutoText options related to a drawing (such as <DRAWINGID>, <DRAWINGNAME>, <RENOVATIONFILTER>,etc.) pull from the metadata of the specific drawing itself, but they do not capture information about the folder in which the view is located (such as a Clone Folder or View Map folder name).

I can see how this would be helpful, would recommend submitting it as a wishlist item


For reference, here’s a list of all currently available AutoText tags:
