Suffix for Window Tag

I have created a custom window tag that shows the header height.  Is it possible to place a suffix of "H.H." behind the tag?  for ex. 6'-8" H.H.

I'm using Autodesk Architecture 2019

Show us: post your tag in a DWG file here and try to at least 'fudge' how you wish for it to appear when all is done.

If you're talking about a tag Block with an Attribute, you can make the "H.H." as regular Text as a fixed part of the Block, with the Attribute containing only the dimensional value.

I can add text to the end of an associative tag?  I don't know how to do that

Can you, as a piece of associative but fixed-content regular Text?  [I confess I have not used multi-view Blocks much at all, so I'm not well qualified to advise.]

The block is a Architecture object so a quick look appears to have extended data. Did you google about changing Architecture labels ? I use CIV3D and its similar can edit a style which has a prefix or suffix.

A block, I would need to insert for each window.  If the window changes for any reason, I would need to insert a new block.  With a tag, if I change the size or header height, it's associated with the window and will change accordingly.  

Surely there is a way to add a suffix to the tag, right?

Again its an Architecture generated block, google about how they are made. It will be a window style property or something similar, I know nothing about Acad Architecture ask your question in the Architecture forum some one may know the answer.
