Title Block cell issue

all of these are of type ILLabel

Not surprising that lastDesigner doesn't work since it's not something that is normally in the database. You could achieve this with a save trigger which will add the property just before save (this code will add it for schematic, symbol and layout cellViews):

procedure(CCFlastDesigner(cv)
  unwindProtect(
    {
      dbDisableCellViewCounter(cv)
      cv~>lastDesigner=getLogin()
    }
    {
      dbEnableCellViewCounter(cv)
    }
  )
)

dbRegSaveTrigger('CCFlastDesigner)

The disabling of the counter is just to make sure that this doesn't break check-and-save (otherwise adding the property would make the connectivity seem out of date for netlisting).

Thanks Andrew. Where would I add this code?

just in a .il file and include it from .cdsinit?

i just put the code in a file and loaded it from my .cdsinit. seems to work. thanks again.

Yes, that's what I would have suggested.
