Hi, I'm looking for a way to auto-populate new drawing sets with basic project information from a text file stored remotely. Each time I start a new project I would enter the information into the text file, save it to the project folder and it would populate the drawing set.
This information would include basic items like project address, owner contact info, consultants, assessor info, etc. A lot of these items appear multiple times in the drawings, for instance, the address appears in the title block, cover sheet, site plan, etc. It would be nice if I didn't need to manually enter it.
Does anyone have a workflow that works for this? I'm open to ideas. Am I missing a feature that already exists?
Why don't you just create a custom RTE?

Most of the parameters you listed are built-in under Project Info. For the ones are not, you can add them as shared parameters to the Project Info category and titleblock families. To have those shared parameters ready for your project, start it from a project template per @barthbradley or Transfer Project Standards from a project template/project.
Value of all of the above parameters (built-in and shared) only need to be populated once so I don't see a huge benefit of transfer them in from an external file (you would have to edit that external file anyway) unless you are using that external file for something else outside of Revit. But sure, you can always do it via Dynamo if you want.
