How to add a reference Level Paramater to a Sign Type Family/Identity Data

I have searched in this forum and others but unfortunately, I cannot find the way to add or put back the schedule Level Parameter in my existing Host-based Sign-type family. Thanks for your help in advance.

Let's look at the family. Post it here.

What about hosting it to a Named Ref. Plane/Workplane in the Project?

I am open to any solutions, all I need is to create a parameter within the family and have Revit do the "VALUE" Level.

For some reason, I don't see on my screen what is on your screenshot; Schedule Level Parameter and Host.

SORRY!

Disregard what I just wrote above. Is it possible to create a parameter with a value for each floor? Like 01, 02, 03 etc

Just open a Project, go to Elevation View, draw a horizontal Ref. Plane and name it something. Now go to Plan View and place instance of your Family on that named Workplane. Workplane is a Placement Option on the Contextual Tab.

Ah! Sorry. I see it's a sign now. So, it hosts to a Wall or vertical surface. Your family hosts to a Wall and displays Offset from Level just fine for me. What's not happening at your end?

Sorry for the confusion. In a short description, all I need is to create a parameter that would read my Reference levels. If I name my levels 01, 02, 03, etc. I want Revit to replicate that into a Family Parameter field instance.

Sorry. Not clear what you are asking. Those Parameters already exist in the Instance Properties. See them in my last screenshot.
