Label Text Prompt

I have a Station/offset label set up, with a label text component. Is there someway to make the label prompt me for the contents of the label text as I am dropping the labels in, so I don't have to go into the right click/edit label text every time? (Similar to creating points or something, when it prompts for a point description?) Thanks,

I too was looking for something like this earlier today.  It seems that you can either go with a Leader - Mtext or Multileader and then you can enter the full contents, or design a label style but then have to go in like you said to edit a part of it.  It would be nice to see an option to prompt for a text input for a portion of an intelligent label style.  There's gotta be a way to do it.

Sure. In the label composer for the default text component enter: "ENTER TEXT HERE"

Doesn't seem to be working for me? Can you show me a screenshot or something to make sure I'm doing it right? Thanks,

you are not going to be prompted, you will have a textcomponent that reads "Enter Text Here" so you know it hase to be edited

We already have that set up - The goal was to improve that by having it prompt me, so I don't have to go in and edit every one. It sounds like that capability does not exist. I guess AutoCAD should add that to the wish list.
