In what context will the string be used/appear, schematic, BOM, PCB layer? -
With the special strings it should work that way (although I do not know for not fitted components).
How to do special strings... well, I think the WhoKnewKnows already alluded to that.
Often starting with "=" or "." followed by the parameter name you want to show.
But do know, that generally that data is already shown...Comment

Is "NF" supposed to mean Not Fitted?
Altium has a variety of ways to indicate that a component is not fitted on the schematic when a variant is selected and the schematic is exported to PDF or printed. I think default is a big red X covering the body of the schematic symbol when it's not included (not fitted). However, there's a variety of ways this can be indicated. Perhaps you can settle for one of these?Comment

As WhoKnewKnows mentions: with Project -> Variant -> Drawing style you can set how to draw it.
Below screenshot is the default setting. I personally want a red cross with the PCB drawing too.

The value can change based on variant, but I am not sure if there is an option to change text based on a condition.Comment
