Dynamic text - Paper size from layout

It would be great to be able to have dynamic text linked to the paper size that is specified in the page setup. This would be for both ArcGIS and Pro.

I'm surprised that this capability isn't already present. Would be very useful.

Yes please. We want to be have things like "Scale is {scale-text} when printed at {page-x} by {page-y}" in the legend.

It is interesting that this dynamic approach is used as a standard in QGIS, with users being able to incorporate project and software variables too, for use across projects.

Yes please. I've been looking for a dynamic text with paper size, e.g. Scale: 1:2000 @ A3
