Feature Request: Metadata driven text fields in essential graphics for automated slates

I work for a production company that uses a slate template built in EG and I wish there was a way to automate the text within the slate EG layer. I get that we have the metadata burn in effect but I would like to make this even more flexible by bringing those automated text fields into EG. 

 

On a slate typically you need to put in:

 

Client

Project/series/franchise etc. 

Seqeunce Name

notes

 

total run time

Date 

 

I'm guessing there is a way to automate some of this stuff in AE but would be nice to add some basic metadata driven data fields within PrPro for workflows that always need to add a slate. 

 

Something like

Text field <DATE>

Text field <duration>

Text field<seqeunce name>

etc.
