 Is it possible to get the name of a used (nested) external referencefile in a field in the texteditor? If yes, how.

&lt;p&gt;You can, as &lt;a href="/members/43614e1a_2d00_d650_2d00_43bf_2d00_8379_2d00_ef78e5d5bcd4"&gt;Carl Myhill&lt;/a&gt; writes, create a DGN table from a report.&amp;nbsp; You can also export the report as Excel or a CSV file.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to list reference files ("filename.dgn") in a text box / field?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/737471?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Wed, 19 Oct 2022 13:09:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:e2e4c2e4-cb78-4c56-9164-68ce9d1185b1</guid><dc:creator>Jorge Hendrikx</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Carl, thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I could not make it work for me as diiscribed.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When I use a filter, no reference files are shown.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1666184644893v1.png" alt=" " /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src="/resized-image/__size/320x240/__key/communityserver-discussions-components-files/273/pastedimage1666184804005v2.png" alt=" " /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, almost there... In cases like this it&amp;#39;s usually something tiny thats is been overlooked.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thanks for your reply!&amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The version of Microstation Connect Edition I am using is:10.17.00.209&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m trying your solution.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: How to list reference files ("filename.dgn") in a text box / field?</title><link>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/736946?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Mon, 17 Oct 2022 11:26:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:720d3bdb-0cb0-4abc-a8f6-4cbc8775f1a2</guid><dc:creator>Carl Myhill</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Please confirm Product. / Version being used.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another alternative workflow if using MicroStation CONNECT Edition&amp;nbsp;is to generate a &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/47785/how-to-create-a-report-of-which-reference-files-are-turned-on"&gt;Report&lt;/a&gt; and place as a &lt;a href="https://docs.bentley.com/LiveContent/web/MicroStation%20Help-v22/en/GUID-813EFB93-C8B7-4DB3-9BDF-880A7B70757A.html"&gt;Table &lt;/a&gt;into the design.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Report can not only filter on if a Nested Attachment, but also if &lt;a href="/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/47785/how-to-create-a-report-of-which-reference-files-are-turned-on"&gt;displayed&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;etc&lt;/p&gt;
