WF5: parametric note using set datum feature name

New member
I have created a datum axis called "X". I have to show the name of that datum axis in a general note on the face of the drawing. How do I make the information within my note parametric to the feature name of the datum axis? That way when the datum axis gets renamed to something like "Y" or "Z", the parametric note will automatically update.

I have unsuccessfully tried creating a parameter in the 3d model and setting it equal to the feature name of the feature ID#. Then using &parametername in my general note on the drawing.

Any solutions?
