I have a door family that I've made in which the frame is locked to the face of the host wall. Now, in a project, I have an instance (that's likely to come up again) in which the frame needs to sit approximately in the middle of the wall, behind the brick return.
This door has a lot of elements (it's a double door, transom window, etc) so I'm wondering if there is a quick / easy way to change how the door family sits in the host wall, without redefining the whole thing.
I don't know how to make the frame location within the thickness of the wall dependent on the brick return.
I've attached screencaps to help communicate my point.

the door family, frame locked to face of wall
3D view of door family, I'm trying to avoid completely re-making this door because it has so many elements

I think you will need to modify the family and add the needed parameters.
Or first make a copy of the family and then simplify as much as possible.
Or you can try a hack. Make the door unhosted. Then you can position it where you need it.
However because this is not how Revit normally operates it might confuse others.
HERE a thread with a screencast how you could do this. As this is not intended behaviour this might also potentailly fail in later Revit versions (not verified myself if it still works).

Please mention Revit version, especially when uploading Revit files.
Why don't you create a host wall for your door.
This is what it looks like you are doing:

Does the host wall go full height? Or just the height of the door?

Another flexible way control the in-plane location of a door with a wall is placing a curtain wall (embedded to cut the wall), then either change the panel type to a curtain wall door type, or to a basic wall type to host the normal door. the curtain wall can be move quire freely to give you any set-back / set-forward that you need.
