Can I use text with tags to flow down the name? Right now I have to change both of them.

Hmmmm, How about a "Inherit UP" command?
[..]
That will have the child inherit the parents name

You can do this via "[..]" like Kory mentioned (pulls parent property), or you can do "[name]" (referencing the property you are in, auto pulls the value from the parent just like "[..]") or "[../name]".

Wow this is cheating at life! Thank you Kory!

Ok now to add to this question for my quest to get our company down to the item level. This thread above covers the name........ now can I also match the UOM and quantity from from takeoff item measurement 1??

Try [../Parent Name/Qty] should work if it is complex or you can just insert the measurement you want to inherit if it is simple
