Topic: Using folio properties from the project properties does not work

Hi

I have a project containing some folios.
I use a title block "a" with some variables in it, for example %pagename.
I have filled in this variable in the project properties.

When I create a new folio, these variable %pagename is automatically filled in, what is - of course - very welcome.

I have changed the language in my titleblock, what means I had to remove the title block "a" from my project en link the updated one "b" by creating a new folio, with the right title block "b" selected.

The problem now is that the variables in the titleblock "b" of my *existing* folios are not updated. This was what i was expecting actually.
Do I something wrong? Or aren't the existing folios not updated when reconnect a titleblock?

Hi,
have you tried to put your project variables in project setting, like this?

Re: Using folio properties from the project properties does not work

I struggled around for some time but finally I saw what went wrong.
I really was thinking that the wished variable had to be in the folio TOO.
No wonder that these variable wasn't updated after I changed the value of that same variable in the project properties.

Anyway, tldr, as soon as I deleted the variable in the folio, it works like a charm!
The folio variable is - as I learned - overruling the property variable.
