SSM and Drawing List?

Hello,
We have a DWG file containing multiple layouts with various custom properties, both in each layout tab and title block. We recently moved these files into SSM to generate a drawing list table figuring it would be better than cusotm dwgprops. Our workflow involves starting SSM and creating a new sheet set from a previous drawing type, which successfully imports all custom properties—great. Next, we pull in sheets from the layouts of the current drawing—perfect.
Now, we need to create a drawing list (or drawing index) formatted in a specific way, incorporating the custom fields we choose. We successfully set up the table and saved it as a new table style, expecting to reuse it. However, every time we create a new drawing set, we have to manually recreate the entire table style, including the custom fields and their order.
Is there a way to automate this process? Could an LSP routine or another workaround help retain the table style, including custom properties, row sizes, and formatting, when generating the drawing list? We understand the table is linked, but we believe it should be able to inherit these settings automatically.
Any insights or solutions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
