Hello all,

I used the Property Tab Builder to set-up the custom properties. I like the idea that one can pick from a drop down list or from a calendar for the dates. I also like how the information will populate automatically in my title blocks on the drawing, if set-up properly.

However, I'd like to have the option to populate the properties directly from the title block. This works fine with "text" input fields, but there seems to be a problem if I want to populate dates and lists. Is there a way to pick a date directly from the title block in the same way (drop-down calendar)? I'd hate to set everything (especially dates) as "text".

As an example of using the custom properties menu, please see below:

Here I can pick the "Drawn Date" from a calendar. The "Drawn By" field also has a drop down menu of all possible users.

If I put in the same information from the title block (blue fields should tie back to properties), the dates will actually NOT APPEAR in the file properties (notice it lets me put in different date formats (with and without hyphen) even though this is a "date" field and not "text").

Any ideas?
