Not Revit! Updating attributes in drawing sheets in Autocad

I dont use Autocad Architecture much these days but its moved on with even more complexity in commands. My drawing sheets which were set up some years ago with a full set of attributes to enter all the project variables needed some updating with an addtional "status" variable. I remebered how to use Attdef in the sheet block but save it and return to the sheet the new attribute wasnt there.


The fix came with a bit a searching and its run the command attsync and just select the block (ie drawing sheet) and "yes". Why does it need to be so complicated! About half an hour to fix this!  Thought Revit Project Params and getting sheet params to work was quite a handful but having to sync one block (not the project) manually seems bizare.
