@kimberly_fuhrman-jones, thanks very much for your reply.

 

I think they are different ideas, however. I have also voted on the idea you shared.

 

There are at least three very similar text issues that users take issue with, all of which are probably addressed in that very long idea thread: text comparison, concatenation, and string conversion. And perhaps even string parsing.

 

Text comparison would be the ability to use text in the boolean expression of an if statement. E.g. Number = if(Parameter = "Text", 1,2). So if the value of Parameter (text data type) is equal to "Text" then the value of the parameter Number (number data type) would be equal to 1, else it'd be equal to 2. This is currently not possible within Revit.

 

Concatenation would be the ability to combine multiple text strings into one text string.

 

String conversion would be the ability to convert numerical data to a text string.

 

String parsing would be converting numerical data in a string to actual numbers.

 

String conversion may be used as a workaround for the use cases I presented, but without the ability to format units.

 

Hopefully that's clear and helpful.
