What Sheet Label do you use to make a independent Date-Label?

-I make updates to my model now and then and need to put a date on the updates. I want to use ONE Label that i can copy for every update/change i make, and be able to change the dates independently.

Thanks for your help.

Not sure what you are asking.  You can have a project based parameter on your sheet that is used by all sheets and would change on all sheets or you can use a sheet based parameter that only changes with that instance.

I want a Label that is project based- changes on every sheet. And i want to be able to copy this Label and put another date in the copied one. So i dont want a link between the original Label and the cpied one.

I want to be able to change the dates in them separately. But still use only one Label that gets copied everytime i make a change in my project.

English is not my native language so im trying to explain the best i can

Thank you.

Sorry but you can't do what you want if I understand you.  It is the ".... i want to be able to copy this Label and put another date in the copied one..."  that doesn't work.  You need a different, instance based parameter for the "copied one". 

So if you have parameters like this:

1. Project Date:  Project parameter - same on every sheet.
2. Sheet Issue Date: Sheet parameter - instance based and independent.

Both of these can be shown on every sheet but their values come from different places.  The project paramter from the project, the sheet parameter from each sheet.

Understand?

Yes i understand.

Let me ask you like this: If you are working on a project that is changed once a week. And you need to put a date every time you make a change. And the old dates must be saved on the same sheet. 

-What Label would you use to not have to use diffeerent labels every date-update?
