I have no problem adding a shared parameter, but if I assign it the wrong type and it appears impossible to change it without adding a new parameter under a different name. I then deleted the old one, but Revit doesn't like that. They appear difficult to purge or delete without a hiccup relating to the original label the parameter was assigned to.
Example: I made a parameter for my clients occupied area (Footprint) and used the integer type by mistake. Apparently integers are only supposed to go up to 999. It refused to recognize the "Digital Grouping" so I had to convert over to the Area type.
If I try to change the type the field is grayed out. Any suggestions or similar problems.
Thanks

Delete the old shared parameter, and create another one with another unit. Nothing serious is going to happen. If there was any data or constraint already associated with that shared parameter, it will be lost, but that's about it, and Revit warns you about that before actually deleting the parameter.
About the integers' limit, I think you can go up to 1,000,000,000, not just 999 as you said. But, yes, it might not accept the digital grouping, and Area was the appropriate unit in this case.
