Expression to pull information from block into BOM Assembly Details

I'm having to re enter the same information in multiple places repeatedly through out our current workflow. I'm having difficulties finding a way to automate some of this entry in autocad. 

 

Is there a way to use the Formula Expression Builder in the BOM Settings to auto-populate vales from Title Block Attributes or vice versa?

I've been able to locate and populate these values using the "Fields" command in a text string, but can't make it work in the Expression builder.
Example:

I would like to Have Attribute tag "Line_2" Value to show up in the "Description" field. 

Using a "Field" in a text string was easy because of the field editor dialog box which returns the below expression
%<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId 2080325045456>%).TextString \f "%tc1">%

 

However I have been unable to get this expression to work in the "Expression Builder" dialog box for the BOM settings.

 

Any Ideas?

I'm Even more open to having the Assembly Properties from the BOM auto-populate the Block using a Field if that's an option. I just haven't been able to figure it out, and it's driving me crazy.
