Reusing same attribute in same block

I want to create a block place an attribute in it. I also want to "copy"
this attribute to several different locations in the same block. Then when
I insert the block, I want to be able to enter the attribute value and it be
inserted to all of the different locations. However, if I use the standard
COPY function when creating the block to copy the attributes to different
locations, then when I insert the block I have to type the value for each
time I copied it. So is there a way to copy an attribute in a block so that
when it is inserted, you just have to enter the data once?

Not a feature of AutoCAD, or LT, out of the box: you might be able to
automate the process in full AutoCAD, but LT is not equipped with that level
of programming where the solution can be practical.
