Is there a child complement to <PARENT SHEET INDEX> ?

I can use <PARENT SHEET INDEX> to produce a Detail view label for DETAIL "B" on Sheet 3 that highlights it comes from a Section View on Sheet 2. But can I put something (dynamically linked) on the Section View on Sheet 2 to indicate the user should look at Sheet 3 to find the Detail View?

The issue here is that a parent view can have multiple children in different sheets. Which one  would you tag?



All of them, just like what you put in your revision block to identify where the revision resides.

@MjDeck has the right idea.

Hello Mike please see attached. I seem to be having trouble with text size on child index rows and underlining the first row.

@t.adkins , please try the attached rule. Check the labels on all sheets. I think they will match what you had in your drawing.

This is great!

Is there a way I can make the Section part Say "Section A-A"  it works perfectly. I just forgot to ask that the first time I would think I could just say Section+" "-" "

but no luck.

Good catch. That's a better format for section view names in the child list. Here's a new version with that change.
