When creating a schedule for plumbing fixtures I'm noticing that my plumbing fixture finishes are showing up in different columns (see picture, 2 are labeled 'finish' and 1 is labeled 'color'). I'm not fully understanding why they are showing up in these three different columns and how to consolidate them. I'm sure it has to do with shared parameters vs. family parameters but I'm not well versed in this just yet. Thanks for your help!

The families are using 2 different shared parameters (Same Name but from Different Shared Parameter.txt file) ... Or you downloaded from the net
To fix you have to edit the families and change the Finish and color parameters to a single Parameter from a single/unified SharedParameter txt file so that they receive the same GUID

When I download a family file from the internet where are those .txt shared

plumbing famities?
There are no text files saved when you download families from the internet. The shared parameters are embedded in the families. You could create a new shared parameters file, Export shared parameters in the families to it, then use them across your families. Alternately, you can add shared parameters to the new file yourself and replace the one in the families with the new shared parameters.
There are some add-ins that can make the task easier. Maybe do a search using Shared parameters manager keywords.

They do not necessarily need to be there with the downloaded family...Whoever created the family you downloaded, added the parameter at his/her end from a Shared Parameters file. That is the downside of downloading families from multiple sources. One way or the other you will always end up with multiple parameters with the same name but different GUID
