Can you change the sheet scale property to show "architectural scale" in the title block?

Instead of the 1:24 have it read 1/2"=1'-0"

or will this have to be done manually.

I don't know either other than manually.

Thanks guys, Now I know to stop trying.
Manual it is, I'll link to a custom propety.
 
Wouldn't it be better to just type the architectural scale into the title block. If you have room you could place it below the mechanical scale. Then you would have a quick cross-check.

My thinking was that I have to fill in other property values such as part number, project number, dates that it was drawn checked etc. so it would just be one more value to enter. I usually do not have to edit the format sheet, everything is automatically filled in.
But I do like the idea of having both scales in the title block.
