@AidanHawkins, as far as I understand from the image the Text Label has been loaded into another family. You will have to select the Label, click on edit family and then open the Type Properties. Here you can change the text size and everything else. Load it back into the family later. 

 

Do let me know if I have misunderstood your question.

Unfortunately my current device only has Revit 2021. I think your family is saved in a newer version. Could you send a screenshot of the toolbar when you select the label? Is there no edit family option?

How about deleting this and loading a new Generic Annotation as per your requirements?

Okay here is the solution to that: Using a door family as an example:

Associate the nested label parameter with a parameter of the host family.
