Can't edit View Title

[tomistrugar]

The option to Edit the View Title in my project is greyed out. I'm using Revit LT with one of the Australian project templates that came with the Revit 2022 Australian content pack.

Strange.  Can you share the project file?

Thanks @ToanDN but as you can see from the screenshots following there is no Edit option when I do as you suggest. As an aside, the Type Properties are also blank. Also, I accidentally duplicated Type 1 and now have Type 2 with the same issue.

Try to reload the family then try again... If you downloaded from somewhere, you should note that some old families cannot be edited after upgrade. This could also happen for various other reasons... here is another example

Family locked for editing

Thanks @RDAOU, that worked (but I had to load a different family (View Title.rfa) as View Title (AUS).rfa could not be found in the Australian content folder C:\ProgramData\Autodesk\RLT 2022\Libraries\English\Australia\Annotations\Symbols\General)

What's interesting is this seems only to affect projects created with the template DefaultAUSENU - Loaded.rte (other templates included in the AUS content pack, such as defaultAUSENU.rte which also has this view title). They look different and can be edited.

Note, I ended up deleting the entire Family and then loading View Title.rfa and adding it back to the Viewport Title w Line.

Note 2, I also found a BIG bug in the DefaultAUSENU - Loaded.rte template: The New Construction phase has been created BEFORE the Existing phase (which a problematic as you can't reorder phases). DefaultAUSENU.rte and the other templates that come with the AUS content pack all are correct - ie New is AFTER Existing.

The phase order mess sounds like a down-under joke went wrong.

It seems like the reason is because you right clicked what was under "View Title" instead of View Title itself. I had made the same mistake.
