Using AutoLISP to one-way transfer a field value to a plain-text attribute

Hello to all:
I've created a nice conundrum for myself. My company is building an add-on for AutoCAD that uses hundreds of simple blocks that I've made, all stored in Vault. I've added an attribute in these blocks that use the VaultRevision field, so every time I check the block out and modify it, I can update that attribute automatically.
The problem is...all of these blocks eventurally get copied into a different master-file that the add-on draws from. This copying removes the dynamic field capability from the attribute, and in the destination file, the attribute merely displays ###.
The only thing I can think of...is to have a way to one-way transfer the text value from the field to a different attribute that is has nothing dynamic about it. Is this possible? I've attached a pic that shows what I'm trying to accomplish, and the file with the block. Thanks in advance for any help!
