Couple of ViewSheet can't set couple custom parameters via API but can via the UI ...

[EATREVITPOOPCAD]

So the custom parameters exist, are spelled correctly and etc... What is strange is that one of them I am able to set but the rest I can not via the API... Any ideas on why this is not working?

                           ViewSheet v = null;

                            v = ViewSheet.Create(doc, titleblockid);
                            v.Name = s.sheetTitle;
                            v.SheetNumber = s.sheetNumber;

                            Parameter p = null;

                            // DOES NOT WORK
                            p = v.LookupParameter("SHEET DISCIPLINE");          
                            if (!p.SetValueString("turkey"))
                                TaskDialog.Show("Error", "Failed to set discipline param");

                            // WORKS
                            p = v.LookupParameter("SHEET SORT CATEGORY");
                            if (!p.Set(123456))
                                TaskDialog.Show("Error", "Failed to set sort category param");

                            // DOES NOT WORK
                            p = v.LookupParameter("SHEET USE");
                            if (!p.SetValueString("Lamb"))
                                TaskDialog.Show("Error", "Failed to set use param");

                            // DOES NOT WORK
                            p = v.LookupParameter("SHEET SORT CODE");
                            if (!p.SetValueString("chicken"))
                                TaskDialog.Show("Error", "Failed to set sort code param");

SetValueString is for setting value types e.g. 5' - 10 1/4"

I would put the above imperial units in quote marks but that would just be confusing.

The one that works uses 'Set'.
