Revit changes revision date on all sheets rather than just the sheets I want to change.

I'm new to Revit. Using Revit 2023, I have the revisions set 'per sheet'. one drawing was issued last week. 2 more sheets get issued today. When I put a date in the Issue box for the sheet going out today, it automatically changes the issue date on the sheet that went out last week. I can't have this changing information on other sheets. I need ALL of the revision information for every sheet in the project to be 'per sheet' if that makes sense. Is there a way to fix that? In our projects the revision information will never be universal across all the sheets in the whole project.

I'm a litte confused.  Sounds like this has nothing to do with revisions. Sounds like this is more about the issue date of the sheet.  I mean nothing is being revised; right?  You're just issuing sheets piecemeal.

This is the parameters used for the Label in the "issue date" that is on your title block.  The default is Project Issue Date, which is one date for everything.  Change that to Sheet Issue Date, which is an instance parameter per sheet.

No the sheet issue date is correct, what I need to be per sheet is this revision issue date here, this is not the first revision of the sheet released.

No this is a new revision. There have been earlier revisions issued.

Per sheet or per project is for the revision numbering, not the revision date or description.  If you want different dates then add different revisions.

Perhaps I'm not being clear, I have some sheets at Rev 0, that went out last week. I have other sheets also at Rev 0 going out today. It's the same revision just being issued on different dates. I can't understand why it wants to date the revision across the entire project. Can't I just have all this revision information on the sheet I'm dealing with and not have it changing other sheets that don't need to be changed?

Then your description makes even less sense. You say you are changing the issue date of the revision in the revision schedule; right? If so, why would you be confused about what is happening? 

 

....sorry, that sounded harsh. Just having difficulty understanding.

Not all of our sheets are released on the same day. Sometimes, one sheet is being changed. If I want to make a revision to one sheet, and issue that sheet, why would I want to change all the sheets and issue them when there is no changes to them? I only want that date to effect the one sheet. Why does that not make sense?

Different dates need different revisions. Period.  Just add new revision with the same description, but different date, and cloud sheets issued this week with it.

Ok that somewhat makes sense, so can I have a new revision that is rev 0 issued today, and another revision that is also rev 0 that is issued on another date? That sounds like it would be easy to mess up. So I need multiple revisions of the same revision number to have different release dates. Is that right?

You are still talking about SHEET ISSUE DATES - not REVISIONS.  You're muddying up the PROJECT Revision Schedule.

If I change the date in the "sheet issue date" of the title block, it changes the date circled in blue. That is not the date I'm trying to change. The date I need to be changed is circled in red.
