Item number in line of text

[jerry1423]

It is possible to place an item number (from the parts list) into a note?
If the item number changes I would like the note to update.
I am on NX6
For example:
Torque capscrews, item 17, to 300 ft-lbs.

I did find the answer for this in a previous post:

I guess I was the one who asked it

And just so that there's no confusion, in my last post of the above referenced thread, I mentioned an NX 7.0 Attribute project. Unfortunately that project has slipped to NX 8.0 but it should make it this time around. I've been involved in testing the changes and it will be integrated early in the NX 8.0 development cycle and so it will get the needed testing and validation which was why it got pulled from NX 7.0 since it would have had to go in to late to be properly debugged and tested (it would not have made NX 7.0/7.5 beta and the consensus was that that was too risky consider how extensive Attributes are used throughout NX to say nothing all that people are trying to use them for to say nothing of the new stuff that we are adding).

Anyway, I just thought that I should make sure that no one was misled by something I posted nearly 2 years ago.
