Bug - Two parameters with the same name after copying between documents

With two documents open in the Revit session, I copy a ceiling from one document to the other.

After the copy, all ceiling types in the target document have two parameters both with the same name "Grid Options"

It looks like I can add more parameters with the same name.

 

There are already 2 Grid Options in your empty file, one for ceiling and the other for material.

Maybe you can just delete them before you pasting your ceiling in.

Yes, I could delete them but I should not need to do manual workarounds to
preserve the data integrity of the model. I posted this so Autodesk can fix
their bug. Revit should not create a duplicate parameter with the same name.

They are actually different Parameter with same names.

They are only the same if they are the same parameter defined in a shared parameter text file.

Hi @harrymattison

 

The reply above is correct; this is not a bug. Revit sees parameters as GUIDs, not names, and will duplicate if you copy/paste or transfer project standards parameters with different GUIDs. Please see the article below for steps to remove the duplicates and let me know if you have any questions, thanks!

Please think about it this way... Does the Revit user ever want to have multiple parameters with the same name? Would this be confusing? Might the user like a warning if this is going to happen?

If there were a warning, users would be asking for a way to turn it off.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Running into this issue still in Revit 22. IT IS A BUG! Revit warns you if you give the same number to two different spaces, even though they are different GUIDs. Why? Because having two spaces with the same number will cause issues in your design and schedules. Guess what? It does that in other things too, such as mechanical equipment where I have 4(!!!) parameters called "Phase" for electrical phase. FIX THIS AUTODESK! Don't tell me it's not a bug here, but you've clearly worked in other parts of the software to avoid it/fix it.
