I link the variable from data card to custom properties - see image
Edit the data card and change the title. Open SW part check custom properties - there is no change in Title
What am I missing?

Show your data card. Also do you save the data card after you change the title variable? Otherwise it won't work.

Yes, I did save the data card. Here is the image
Check the "update all configuration" and "default overwrite" . Maybe you just writing in the title into the @ active configuration (I hide this on the cards). Try and see if that works. If not also try on other part file to double check, maybe the file you trying now is corrupt.

I checked both and tried different file and got the same result: not updated
Now open a part and write manually some text into the "title" attribute and see if it shows on the data card that way you can check if everything is working. Also check in/out the file.
My guess is that you have not mapped the variable correctly.
Typically the out-of-the-box cards are mapped to the custom property description (see 1st image).
If you are trying to use the Title that is on the property Summary page, then you need to map to the Summary block as shown in the 2nd image.
Make sure the correct SOLIDWORKS extensions are included in the extensions list.

Last note - if you really do want to map to a custom property called Title, make sure there is a mapping to the custom property and the extensions are in the list (and ensure there are not two mappings to the same extension - Custom Property and Summary for example).
See image...
edited my reply because the property should be written to the file when mapped correctly.

Thank you, Joy
I actually mapped to the custom property, not to Summary block
and I do have "Title" in my custom property
Thank you Joy
It's a good video and I'll save it for training
The error is in the attribute name. It should read CustomProperty not Custom Properties.
Nice catch Martin - I looked right at it and didn't see it :-)
You are correct.
