A smart tag is a placeholder in curly braces that FlexiData replaces per element when it runs:
{Element_ID}, {Date_ISO}, {Project_Number}, {Family_Name}… There are 54 in six groups,
all listed below.
Insert one with the tag button beside a text field, or type it — see
Inserting smart tags.
{Project_Number}-{Element_ID} → 2417-384512
Checked {Date_ISO} by {Revit_User} → Checked 2026-10-22 by t.vyslotskyj
Where they work
Format Text, Location Data, Zero Padding, Push to Nested and Move to Workset do not use smart tags.
A tag FlexiData does not know is written as it is, braces included.
