I have a Model containing Text Fields which are linked to Element Properties, however these are not being updated when the Element Properties are being modified.
Note the following is applicable to all types of Text Fields, for further information on these see https://communities.bentley.com/products/microstation/w/microstation__wiki/12506.text-fields-auto-updating-annotations.aspx
To manually update these Text Fields the following keyins can be used.
In addition to the above keyins the following variables also automatically control the updating of Text Fields.(Seek advise from your Site Administrator regarding these)
MS_AUTO_UPDATE_FIELDS
Controls the rules for updating fields in the active model. If set to ALWAYS, the fields will always be kept up to date. If set to NEVER, the fields will never be updated. If not set or if set to FOLLOWMODELFLAG, the model's "Update Fields" flag will be followed. (MS_AUTO_UPDATE_FIELDS)
MS_PLT_UPDATE_FIELDS
Controls when fields are updated prior to printing or previewing. If set to 0 or undefined, fields are not updated prior to either printing or previewing. If set to 1, fields are updated prior to printing. If set to 2, fields are updated prior to both printing and previewing. (MS_PLT_UPDATE_FIELDS)
