AutoCAD - Block name inside block with text field?

Hello

It would be very useful for me to have field text inside a block that will show the name of that block and update it when the block is renamed. Can anyone tell me if this would be possible?
I don't think so, but not sure...
Thanks

while in BEDIT

type in: ATTDEF<enterhit>[F1] read more about attdefs

set Tag - for example BNAME

set constant = yes (for constant only, for usual users like to have non-constant attributes, but in this special case: constant=yes)

and other setting (height and more)

 

as default value -> Insert field

blockplaceholder
