Add field to layout tab name

I would like to add a field, to reflect the revision number field from the title block, to the layout tab name in order that tthis gets included in the pdf file name when publishing.. There doesn't seem to be an obvious way of doing this in the rename tab command.

Thanks for the link but I think that's the revese of what I'm after. I already have a field'(ctab) in the title block for the drawing number, what i'd like to do is to add a field to the tab name to show the revisions number e.g.  0011 C01, so that whenever I publish the layout the file name includes the revision number. The revision number in the title block is an attribute, I need to find a way to include this in the tab name.

FIELD objects are not add-able to any tab in AutoCAD. Sorry.

SSM is one way to go (you have to pre-define everything), or automating with LISP (if you are not an LT user) is another option, in addition to what else is being suggested by others.

You might be able to achieve this with the Sheet Set Manager. Or you may need some kind of LISP reactor, e.g. RenameLOA - links layout name with a title block attribute (which then may be controlled through a field). See:
