Turn on Plot Stamp when batch plotting from Document Manager

Is there a way to turn on the AutoCAD Plot Stamp when batch plotting from within the AS Document Manager?

I have it ticked in both standard plot and standard batch plot dialog's and it puts my stamp (showing plot date/time & path) on the left edge of the drawings as we like, when I plot from that interface, but when plotting from within Document Manager, no stamp shows up.

Currently using AS2019

I think this is not possible. 
But maybe you could use another way: why not using a token from the project settings? The attributes of the Hypersteelpageheader don't had to be located in a specific frame or something, so you could use another token to place it where you want. Before plotting, you add the correct value, use the "update Pageheader" command and then plot the details.

Thanks for the thoughts Sebastian.

I had considered something like that as well, using fields, but I'm not sure my detailers will follow through if it is something they need to manually update. Was hoping that I was just missing something.

 

My opinion in this case may be that no plot info is better than incorrect plot info.

 

We can always plot thru the ACAD BatchPlot when stamps are needed.

Just nice seeing things are Up-To-Date as you choose the files from within Document Manager.

 

I will cross my fingers that it will be in a future release.
Seems like it should be a simple thing since it is already built into ACAD.
