Hello,
Is there a way to insert a field into the layout tab name (See image - circled in red)? When I right-click on the tab it doesn't give the option. I could rename all the tabs individually, but with potentially 40+ tabs I would like to streamline this.
No but what Field are you thinking of using?
I was going to use either a custom field to match drawing file name or if there an existing field to utilize that. If there is a way to find and replace the tab name, that would work as well.
Perhaps a lisp can be written to place the dwg file name as a prefix to all the layout tabs. You may want to be specific with the requirement and post in the customization lisp forum
You cannot use Fields directly but you can use a LISP reactor to do this. See e.g. RenameLOA:

You might want to check the Sheet Set Manager. You can rename and renumber the sheets from the SSM palette, which has the option to update the layout name.
Cheers,
