Is there a way to prevent Revit from assigning new tag values to equipment / air terminals that have been pasted into the model from the clipboard?
Thanks.

what do you mean by new value?
you have an equipement you did ctrl c then ctrl v and when is past you see a tag or a new value?
thanks
As an example, the project utilizes both fan powered (TUFP) and non-powered (TU) VAV boxes. We have several instances where both type of boxes share the same mark such as TUFP-12-1 and TU-12-1.
When the contents of the model is copied into a new project, Revit will rename one of the boxes sharing the same mark number to something like TU-16.
How can I prevent Revit from doing this?
The Mark Parameter is really not good to use to identify equipment. I would highly recommend using a Shared Parameter or a Project Parameter instead. This system parameter has a special behavior and Revit will automatically assign a unique Mark value to any new elements, including those created by the Copy/Paste method.
There is some more information about the Mark Parameter in this previous thread:
