Capture CIS Variants - Custom titleblock properties

kdm14

Is it possible to have different title block properties displayed when different CIS variants of a schematic are viewed in variant mode?  My title block displays properties such as document number and PCB assembly part number that depend on the variant.  I would like to be able to print different variants of the schematic and have the title block information update automatically.  I know you can include the variant name in the titleblock, but I'd like to be able to set multiple (other) existing properties.

    You can add the variant name to the title block.

    If you add a property called Variant Name (with the space), when you select that BOM variant, the name given to the variant is populated.

    As stated in the original question, the functionality you refer to has been there for over 2 years.  I was requesting the ability to tie multiple other properties (e.g., document number and assembly number) to the variant name and have them displayed, not just the variant name.

    My hack was to use the Variant Name as the document number, making the title generic. You still only get one variable for Variant View Mode, so it doesn't solve much. I still had to edit the titleblocks manually if I wanted to change the revision for example.
