Revit bug in IndependentTag TagText with link model

[BIM.Frankliang]

Dear Friends,

         I found an interesting thing that I could't get IndependentTag TagText when door in Link doc and IndependentTag in main doc. I have attached zip file below:

        1. The red rectangle shows door of link model (image 1)

        2. The blue circle shows door IndependentTag which associated with door of link model (image 1)

        3. RevitLookup shows that the IndependentTag TagText is Internal Exception (image 2)

        That is strange, I could see TagText in Revit but I could't get.

        Wish it can be improved

        The attachments:

        a.  2.rvt(main model)

        b.  1.rvt(link model)

        c.   image 1

        d.   image 2
