Hi Franck,

you suggest using vars. Which, indeed, will permit a high level of customization.

Should it be updated each time the user saves the document, or prints it or anything else?

Objet : Re: [Kicad-developers] Issue 6121- extend system strings by the current date

The support is already here for this with subsitution

${REVISION}

${SOME_RESERVED_KEYWORDS} to add

...as

${LAST_UPDATE}
${LAST_UPDATE:format}

${PAGENUMBER}
${PAGES}       ( to do Page 1/8 2/8 3/8 .....)

or

${FOOTPRINT_COUNT}
${VIA_COUNT}

Good source to finding new vars : the help of a wordprocessor.
