Tie shape text to custom property

[Scott]

If I click on a shape and start typing, the text for that shape is edited.
I'm not sure what that 'text' is called. Is there a way to directly tie that
text to the value of (one or multiple) custom properties?

For example, I may want the text to be something like:
Prop.Type & " " & Prop.RobotNumber

where Prop.Type and Prop.RobotNumber are custom properties defined on the
shape. Is that possible?

I just did this
a. opened a network diagram and dropped a workstation shape on page
b. update custom property network name and ip address
c. double click shape to open text
d. from menu select insert => field
e. using defaults enter formula
prop.networkname & " " & prop.ipaddress

now the shape has the network name and ipaddress displayed.
