Use variables in export folder name

Please add the option to use variables / metadata in “put in subfolder” name, similar to how we can rename files using e.g. {folder name} {custom name}.

 

I use lightroom to edit students ID pictures, so i organize each classes into their own folders. I then batch export all edited photos to a subfolder named “Edited” under each classes' folder,

current setup:

Class A
  Edited

Class B
  Edited

...

Class Z
  Edited

 

After that I have to manually add the class name  »  “Class A - Edited” before I can send those folders to my printer… 

 

it would be helpful if we can use the parent folder’s name (in this case the class name) as a variable to name the target subfolder 🙏
