Note that in 7.0 you can access symbol field values in the
corresponding footprint's footprint text with ${MY_SCHEMATIC_FIELDNAME}. So
in your case you could add footprint text that contains ${value2} and
${value3}, and those variables will be replaced with the component value
and package name. You can also access symbol fields for an arbitrary
symbol/footprint with ${REFDES:SYMBOL_FIELDNAME}.See https://docs.kicad.org/7.0/en/pcbnew/pcbnew.html#text-variables Questions like this will get more eyes on them over on the forum.
