Dynamo Copy Parameter Issue

KsmithTU58F — Thu, 14 Dec 2023 12:28:02 GMT

Hi,

I'm very new to Dynamo and just stumbling my way through it. I have downloaded a code which works for what I want. The code copies values from one parameter to another. I have changed the code and it works for all parameters except one! It's driving me crazy, as I have no idea why this one parameter wont copy. Can anyone see why it is not working from looking at the attached workspace?

The parameter which is causing me issues is the "Type" parameter which I want to copy down to the "Atvero.Type" parameter. These parameters are for the Sheets.

Screen shot from Revit attached showing the parameters mentioned.

Please help put me out of my misery ha! TIA.

There is only one sheet type in a project and it can't be renamed or duplicated, so what is the point in "copying" the parameter? Also, a type is stored as an ElementId so perhaps you need to extract the integer/long value from it first. Btw, this is not the Dynamo forum, that is at forum.dynamobim.com

The reason for this is that we have a new CDE and a tool/addon which publishes to the CDE. I need to setup this tool to copy the values from the old sheet parameters to the new sheet parameters to allow the publishing tool to work correctly. New projects wont need this.

Apologies for the wrong forum. I seen other Dynamo questions in this forum and thought it was allowed.
