    I would like to see the InDesign variable data feature of being able to link a text box's contents to the file name be implemented in Illustrator. In ID this is under the text menu and used primarily to add the file name to print documents outside the crop. I work for a military contractor and we have large teams of technical illustrators creating illustrations for repair and user manuals in Illlustrator. Most military standards, and technical illustration styles require unique artboard numbers be included on the artboard itself and tied to the file name. Currently this is something we need to update and check using Java script. Including this will not only help users but also help maintain Adobe's place in an industry that it is currently deviating course from.
