How to includes version number when populating Created From Version property?

Jbethune

I am using Object Creator to copy a document and populate the Created From Version property. I was using {Self()} however I would like to reference the specific version of the document that was used. 

The normal Template workflow seems to do this, however I am not sure how it accomplishes this. Is there a placeholder I can use so when I use Object Creator to create a document I can populate the Created From Version property not only with the object title but also it's version, as seen in the photo below? Much appreciate the help!

    I was about to use the template workflow from Compliance Kit to do this for most of my objects. Some objects, I create from non-templates. For these controlled Docs, I can use the Set Properties in Object Creator as seen in my screenshot above. For very few objects, if needed, I have created a new property and use Property Calculator to set that property to: 

    {Created from Version} version {Created From Version.Version()}

    I have found this to meet my requirements.
