Project Parameters dependent on other Project Parameter

[dan.buckingham]

I asked within another thread but thought this warranted it's own question. Previous thread:
https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/revit-architecture-forum/revit-parameters-if-statement-with-text-para...

Is there a way to control a project parameter, specifically a Sheet parameter, according to the result of another parameter?

My users use the DiRoots Prosheets plugin to automatically name the output files, which requires a string of parameter values to generate the file name, currently using the Sheet Status parameter shown below.

However, as explored in my previous thread, I'm looking to add checkboxes for each status (A1, S2 etc), and want the Sheet Status parameter to update accordingly, to avoid the potential of the information being mismatch.

You mean something like this? 

Sheet Status=if(Status_Test 2, "D2", "S2")  

...probably going to need a bunch of nested if statements.

Yes that is the sort of thing I’m using within the families, but I don’t know how to include formula in Project Parameters, outside of families.

This issue really stems from the limitation within Revit of not being able to have text parameters drive if statements; ie =if(Sheet Status=“A1”, “Issues for Co-ordination”, “N/A”)

Use Dynamo. Or use a Schedule with Filter/Sort/Group and Itemize Every Instance unchecked.
