We are trying to update our titleblock and have customer name, city, quote, project number. etc in DWGPROPS but there are two items I can't figure out how to include.

 

1. A Provisional tag-currently a dynamic block with a blank or provisional visibility state but willing to do a checkbox or dropdown in DWGPROPS if possible.

2. Planner Name and PM name-currently a dynamic block with everyone's name as a separate visibility state. Again, would love to have a dropdown in DWGPROPS. 

 

There are 2 titleblocks in the drawing and would love to update in just one location and both update automatically. This file will be used internally only so if we need to download something to get this done, it is a possibility.

@alissweeps You can't add anything to the core commands like the DWGPROPS pop-up. Sorry.

Usually when I just want to change what something says in block from a selection set of values I'll use an attribute with a field to a value provided by a Lookup with a list of values to select from.  I'd rather save the visibility state for something that can only be done with a visibility state.

Perhaps you can use a formula in your field that uses if-logic to check if your DWGPROPS value is 1 or 0 and update the field accordingly?
%<\AcExpr (%<\_DWGPROPS CustomProperty("CHECKBOX")>% == 1 ? "YES" : "NO")>%

(I cannot test this formula as I don't have AcExpr functionality)
