You could load in a default Title Block from the Revit Family Library > Title Blocks, edit this family and Copy the default label to the Clipboard, then open your Revit title Block and Paste from Clipboard into your Titleblock and save. This will ensure you are using a default label you know works!

You then need to remember if you have a Revit Template you always use you need to update it with the updated Titleblock

I don't understand what you are asking or showing. Your top screenshot is showing the view Scale label on the Sheet Titleblock circled in red. Your bottom screenshot is showing a list of Project Parameters. One has nothing to do with the other. The view Scale is a label (with special powers) that is created and placed inside the Titleblock Family.

the label in the title block in showing correctly , but the scale is not showing in the drawing list schedule , the scale parameter is deleted from the entire project , that's why i am showing a screen shot from the project parameters , i tried to recreate the scale parameter inside the project but the label and the new parameter are not linked together any more

The Scale Parameter is not available for Sheet Lists!

It is available for view Lists as it is View Specific

I don't understand what you are Scheduling. Titleblocks???

First, you can't directly, but maybe you can via Dynamo.

Second - and foremost - if you had Multiple Views of different Scales placed on Sheets, that "Scale" Label would read "as indicated". Is that what you are after?

I am deeply frustrated by Autodesk's decision to remove the "Scale" parameter when creating sheet lists in Revit. How are we supposed to efficiently create a sheet list that displays the scale for each sheet now? While we can add a manual value parameter, it fails to read the scale automatically—a capability we expect for the premium subscription fees we're paying.

Over the years, we anticipated Autodesk would enhance features, not strip away essential ones. The previous system worked perfectly well. Even the "As Indicated" note was manageable, whether we maintained a consistent scale or used overrides to denote multiple scales.

This wasn't just a minor convenience; it was integral to our workflow. Now, we're left with more manual work for something that should be automated. It's disheartening to see such regressive changes. Honestly, at this rate, even software like Paint is starting to look faster and better in comparison.

Great job, Autodesk!
