Text variables

GForte

Hello, I was wondering how can I create variable fields in the layout.

To start, I have a template for some type of designs, and I would like that one of the texts on the silkscreen changes accordingly to an external variable, like the folder name, or a text file in the same folder.

I was thinking something similar to a page frame that changes the date automatically. How can I generate that type of fields?
