Block Attributes with variables?

Using ACAD2014LT.  I want to use the first variable attribute value as a variable in subsequent attributes in the same block.  This will be extracted and used for tag references in a PLC program.

Along the line, i know I can change the enclosed character ( ' ), but can I remove it?

Fields are the way to do this but I do not think the Block will properly update unless a Dynamic Action is applied and run on it.

Fields will be tedious.  I need about 1000!

One unique block with one unique fixed variable and an adjacent editable variable for your 'subsequent' needs is another option.

If you mean or need more, time to post sample DWGs with sample blocks and notes for others to review in more detail.
