Hi, I'm still learning revit formula and somewhat trying to understand the limitations of it.
I have a parameter in a door family that allows me to switch the panels using a nested family and a family type to control it. I added it to a schedule to change the panel but I don't want it to show up in the family name.
Is there a way to add a formula type to a text parameter? I don't believe so but I thought I'd try.
I would like the "Door | Panel" P1 I want "Door | Panel Type" to automatically fill out as well so I don't have to do this twice.
My other option was to just remove the text parameter completely but I can't remove the family name in the schedule as it doesn't just show the type. TIA

Family Type parameters are a bit difficult to check in Revit.
You can only check if one family type parameter has the same or a different value as a second family type parameter.
So what you need to do in your door family is to have a helper Family Type parameter for each of the different panel types. Then in your Panel Type text parameter you would have nested if statements checking what helper parameters your main family type parameter matches.
Here is a test setup I did quickly with a detail item family.
The one other thing I will do is make sure the helper parameters are Type Based and then add a Text parameter telling users to make sure the name of the name of the parameter matches the family selected.
This just reduces the chance that someone goes in a changes the helper parameters which could mess things up.
