Display only type-part of type selector parameter

Is there a way to display only the 'type'-part (yelow) of a type selector parameter and drop the family name?

Without doing this with a type selector and text parameter for every possibility? Because the amount of possibilities is to big and variable...

We want to schedule a lot of different type selectors and if you include the family name the names become very long for each one and become impossible to print on an A3 or A4 sheet...

I can solve this with dynamo but then the script would need to be run every time there is a change (which can be forgotten) so I prefer to do it through a formula in a parameter if possible...

It is not possible in Revit no. You cannot split it. 

 

In terms of a pure revit solution, the best you could do is to create a db csv dictionary for each type and or instance and use

  1. Either a Type catalog
  2. OR Lookup Table
