Attribute Linking within Visibility States

I've attached my master dynamic block file that I'm creating for my company. Under my fixture blocks when I flip through visibility states the attribute does not stay constant (i.e. If I change the fixture type in my horizontal state to A3, and then change to vertical orientation it will still be at my preset A, instead of changing to A3). I was wondering if there was a way that I could link these two attributes, so if I needed to change the orientation I do not have to rename the fixture type, also.

You can link an attribute to the visibility state name using a field (and regen when changed).  You can also use a block properties table so that it forces a specific attribute value based on the block properties table row.  Similarly you can use a lookup to change both the visibility state and to switch the attribute value using a field.

The visibility state field will be accessible within block editor as a block placeholder field.

I do not understand, you must be patient with me since English is not my mother tongue. Please see the attached dwg file, I'm trying to assign the P_ABERTURA attribute the value of the Visibility Parameter.
