Print Organizer not update fields automatically?

I make change in sheet numbering, over "Models" dialog (right click on sheet - Properties - enter new number for sheet number). This number is attached to sheet as text field.
I use Print Organizer to batch print all sheets, but (after 1,5 hour) I found that sheet number is old. Also I found why. I'm not re-clicking whole sheets, to "update" fields - I think, this do automatically Print Organizer. But it seems, no.
Solve: When change any source for text fields, is better / must physically open sheet to update this fields.

Or is there choise, how to update it over Print Organizer?

Thank you, this help, but only for 50% ...anyway it help

But, problem is: If you want print sheets from ABCD.DGN, this file ABCD.DGN must be closed (for writing), when Print Organizer run, otherwise fields is remain un-updated.

Print Organizer uses a background session of MicroStation to process the plot. If the file is open in the active session, it will be opened in read-only mode in the background session, which will keep fields from updating.

No, Print Organizer can only be used from an active session of the desktop application (ie MicroStation). I suggest opening a file that is not in the .pset.
