Is Possible to add parametric node with "sheet name" in title block?

in Drawings
Hello,
I cannot find any way to add parametric note with sheet name to the title block in my custom template. There are just Drawing names. I assume that there is no other way to do that. Maybe write my own feature script or propose that as a feature, or am I missing something?
Thank You very much.

This will depend on what you are using to drive the sheet name. What do you intend to drive it with? Part name? Or from somewhere else?

I didn't know that I can drive the sheet name, I name it myself (rename).
Sometimes, I put more parts in one drawing and than I can't use part name, becausem, there are more parts.
Thank You for your response
As a paid user, you can use custom properties then replace the "Sheet" in your template with whichever custom property you like. I'm still not sure what you intend to drive your sheet name with. Once you know what you want to drive it with, then I can try to point you in the right direction.

I would like to have "mříže na okno" and "Branka" (in this case) to be automatically placed to the title block in the Drawing name box.
And with this, I have question, if I can add name of whole "document" in the ttle block, same was as sheets
Where will those names come from? The parametric aspect of drawings is usually the parts that you put on them. The drawing itself uses properties that can be automated, but usually the user just right clicks the drawing tab and sets the properties which will be drawing wide not per sheet. If they are going to be per sheet, then what is driving them? Might as well manually type them if nothing is driving them.

When I make a new sheet in the drawing, it's atomatically called Sheet1. And I like to rename it, to know what is inside, when I have more Sheets than just one (which I usually have). And also quite often there is more parts on one sheet than just one, So I don't want to drive the name (if it's possible) of the sheet by name of parts. I just want to rename it.
And with it, I would like, to automatically change my name of current sheet in title box. use Sheet1 as driver for title box.
There is parametric node "Drawing name" but not "sheet name". I don't know, maybe I do pointless work, but it still make sense to me. But, is there any way, I can do that? If not, I’ll find another way, or just manually copy/paste.
And thanks for your patience:)
There are ways to automate and parametrically drive anything in Onshape. That said, it sounds like the best thing will be to manually rename your new sheet to whatever you like. You only have to rename one input field right? I'm sure it would be possible via the api to figure out which parts are on a sheet then dynamically name the sheet based on all the part names. But I think for your use case, a simple double click the title and rename it will be best.
