Nice manners. They go well with that snarky attitude.
Step 2: "What is a NameValueMap?"
SO.
Something like this will be the name value map. (I'm writing this in vb.net, whereas almost all of the samples use vba, and vb.net is what is used in the rule environment)
oSomeCustomLength = "24 in"
Dim oNVM As NameValueMap
oNVM = ThisApplication.TransientObjects.CreateNameValueMap
oNVM.Value("LengthParamColumnNameFromContentCenterEditor") = oSomeCustomLength
To finish off, insert it back into the CreateFamilyMember line as the optional parameter that it is.
