Table from front sheet on all sheets

For keeping track of our revisions we use a table as part of our template; the template contains teh first 2 rows, after that you extend teh table and add descriptions etc. in the cells.
We also use multiple sheet drawings that contain boh the weld assembly, the bending drawings and the flat layouts of sheetmetal parts.
With every revision, I have to update each table on every sheet: a lot of work.

There must be a way to get each table on every sheet (sometimes from different templates, say A3 landscape and A4 portrait) to follow its "master" on the front sheet. Does anybody know how?

Greetings,

One approach would be to copy the table from the front page and use a mapkey to paste it on each sheet using absolute coordinates so the table is in the same location on each sheet.

The only wayI canthink of doing something like that would be to create a part for each drawing call it something like "drawing_name"_rev_part and create each revision as an instance of that part. Create parameters inside of that part rev_number, rev_date, rev_description... and so on. Create your tables as repeat regions. For every revision you add open the part and add another instance. Every table should update throughout the drawing.
