    <description>&lt;P&gt;API Parameter type is it a Revit, Project, Shared, Family. Currently this is very hard to work out. It should be simple. A process of elimination gets allows you to work out which type a parameter is, but causes slow code. Across these types of parameters, a Name can be the same, and the instance/type, and the type i.e.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Parameter name - Parameter type&amp;nbsp;- Instance/Type - Type&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Revit - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Project - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Shared - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Family - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;or&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Parameter name - Parameter type&amp;nbsp;- Instance/Type - Type&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Revit - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Project - Instance - Integer&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Shared - Type - Text&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Mark - Family - Instance - Number&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;The combinations are many, making it very hard to work out which parameter is which, displaying them in a list, and then getting the right one back and populating it.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Again this is all possible within the current realm of the API, but the overhead in checks is crazy.&lt;/P&gt;</description>

      <description>Thanks for taking the time to submit your idea. Unfortunately, this idea did not get the support of the community over the last 6 months and as such we will not be pursuing it at this time. Please feel free to rework (titles and clear descriptions are really important) and resubmit this one down the road.</description>
