Configuration in drawings

in Drawings
hello,
i am trying to put the "configuration" in the drawing so i have the different dimenssions in each drawing and at the same time i know witch one it is....
like in a text balloon (note) i would like to put the name of the imput list of the configuration i had chosen and a variable that is in the configuration.
(also if i can use the variable values in the part studio to put it in the table)
thanks

You can right click a view and "change configuration" at any time, and all the projected views will also update.
If you want a note with the config name, you can set the config name in the configured part properties to an unused part property (Title 1 in my case)
Then in drawings insert a note and set it like this:
No way to show the variable values yet unfortunately...
unless you have a bunch of open properties and you use a BOM to create the table, showing only the properties with variables... or you mash your variables into one open property separated by spaces or something... then you can use the above tactic as well...

The configured part properties works well enough to use a blank property like Title 1, however, if you have two or more configured profiles you can't have another blank property on the other configured table. The posts above are from 2018, are there newer methods to address drawings that reference the specific configuration and somehow include the name within the drawing?
