Instance parameter on title block

[jacques]

Is there any way to add shared instance parameter to a title block? We have managed to add yes/no parameter to the title block. But what we want to do is add a series of instance parameter that can be scheduled and exported. Any ideas how?

Sure.
- Open the titleblock family, add labels and add shared parameters to the labels
- Load the titleblock family in project
- Add the same shared parameters above and assign them to Sheets category

Your workflow is extremely vague, can you elaborate on this please?

[ToanDN]

Which of the three-step workflow is vague?

[bmutert3]

I figured it out. Everyone learns differently. I am more visual, step-by-step.

Manage tab - Project Parameters - Select the "Project Title" parameter - Modify - Set parameter bubbles to "Instance" - Select Sheets under Categories

Now you have an Instance Parameter instead of a Type Parameter for this line item in your titleblock

How do I add instance label so I can type custom text on each title block?

My field for new shared parameter is grayed out.

Create a shared parameter file first or browse/assign it if you have one already

@RDAOU Hi.

Currently, I am trying to add only date label to a title block but the Revit parameter includes time as well.

1. Is there a way to modify the system parameter in Revit, specifically the date?

2. How can I create a new parameter that displays the date only? 

I created a shared parameter (new text file->new group->new parameter) for this purpose but, it didn't work for me. In the family editor, only the sample value is displayed while, in the project nothing is displayed, nor can I type manually the date.

Use Sheet Issue Date parameter instead of date/time stamp...

@Martijn.Pater I don't know why it displays random date.

As mentioned above in this thread, do not use the Date / Time Stamp property, use Project Issue Date, or Sheet Issue Date, depending what you want to do. The Time Stamp is used for other purposes, outside of the margins, in a tiny font, usually along the File Path property. The Sheet Issue Date property can be scheduled in a sheet list schedule. No need to create a shared parameter for that.
