Comments.Text: Not sure which you are saying is abandoned. https://civicrm.org/extensions/fuzion-tokens or https://civicrm.org/extensions/related-tokens or something else (assuming either of those give you what you need? Both contributors are still 'active', and often extensions can sit around for many years working perfectly, so the last 'release date' is not always a good indicator of whether an extension has been abandoned or not. Hope you find what you need.

  ### Answer by username_2 on 2023-10-13. Score: 3 | Accepted answer
  
  1. Install the 'SearchKit Tokens' extension.
  2. Read the [README](https://lab.civicrm.org/extensions/sktokens/-/blob/main/README.md) which has a full example.
  3. Go to `Search > SearchKit` then `New Search`
     * For your case, you want to create a search starting with `Contact`
     * In `With`, set the entity to `Contact Related Contact` and set the `Relationship to contact` as `Employer of`, and set `Is Current` to `Yes` (ie search for information about contacts and their current employers)
     * At the bottom if the page, click the `Add` dropdown. Go the end of that list and expand the `Contact Related Contacts`, choose the field you want to use (I've used City, you'll want your Region field). Remove the other fields you don't need.
       [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/lG4Pe.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/lG4Pe.png)
     * Click `Search` and check it is showing you what you expect.
     * On the left side, under `Compose Search`, click `Add` then `Tokens`.
     * Give your Region field a suitable label eg 'Employer Region'.
     * Give your search a name and `Save`

  4. Test by going to a contact, click `Actions` then `Print/Merge Document`. In the `Tokens` box, find your token. Click `Preview`
