Is there a reason your titleblock and revision tables are separate blocks in this file? You will lose the dynamic properties of the revision block if it is a block within a block.

 

All you should have to do to get the fields to populate from the SSM is automate the fields in the table to the SSM like you did with the title block. They can each populate as individual blocks to the SSM, however block properties in one block cannot "speak" to parameters in another. You could make one block's fields automate to another block's fields using field expressions (i.e. "Block A" might have a field that says "Revision 1" - and you could use a field expression to get the text string "Revision 1" in another block). Sadly, AutoCAD hasn't figured out a way for field expressions to be used in a Lookup action, so we're all stuck with blocks that can't talk to each other. Hope this answers your question.
