Hi all,
Could there be a way to automate the population/updating of revision lists within titleblocks (similar to Revit)?
E.G. a central control of editing/updating what revisions are shown for each specific layout, rather than having to manually update each individually.
Thanks!

Audric,
I think this would be best controlled with Sheet Set Manager custom sheet fields. Overall revisions could be custom sheet set fields, but sheet specific revision would be a custom sheet field.
You could link the revision list to an attribute linked field in your titleblock.
I didn't see a great way to have multiple lines in a sheet set custom property, so might be best to set up as many custom properties for Revisions as you think you'll need, and then pre-set up a sheet specific revision table in your title block to fill in each field as it's filled in with the sheet set manager. It'd be arranged like this:
SheetRevision1
SheetRevision2
SheetRevision3
And then in your sheet set manager, manage those fields in the sheet properties to fill in that field with "1. 2022/05/03 - Revision to section A area - By AM", or however you want that to look.
Set the default to a space character so any revisions not filled out yet don't appear in the schedule.
It's pretty close to how Revit handles it, but a tiny bit more manual since you'll need to set up those revision fields at first. Also, the schedule is a bit more static in that you need to set up the number of possible table rows in advance - it's not infinitely expanding like Revit. Once it's set up though, you'll have a sheet set template ready to use.
Here's my last webinar with an intro to Sheet Set Manager:
Sheet Set Manager and Land F/X
It's something I can keep in mind, though, when we revisit our Sheet Index tool to see if we could help make this easier on the CAD side.

Hi Amanda,
Thank you for the thorough reply and instructions!
We'll take a shot at the method you describe and will let you know how it goes.
