Hey everyone!
I'm creating shared parameters for my door tag that I will import into my project. Is it possible to create a shared parameter that acts like the "Mark" in "Identity Data" in a door? What I mean is if I put the same number in the cell, I want Revit to tell me that I have duplicate values like it does in "Mark".
Thank you,

if you create a shared parameter for the door as an Instance and not Type, then it should work....just try it.

It's already as an Instance. Maybe I don't create the shared parameter correctly. The type of parameter used is "Text" for the one that I created.
I'm loading into my project the door tag with the label containing the new shared parameter. After that, i'm going to Manage > Project Parameters and I add the new parameter as a Shared one in door category and as a "Instance" with "Values are aligned per group type". Maybe i'm not setting something right that it can act like the "Mark" in door "Identity Data". If I put the number 100.1 on one of my door in my new shared parameter and I put the same number on an another door, it doesn't make me and error that says that I have duplicate values.
Maybe there is a way to formula to my new shared parameter to have an equal value with the "Mark" parameter?
I'm fairly sure you can't get Revit to report these errors.
I think the only options you have is:
1. Export the schedule to Excel and use 'Find Duplicates' which will highlight them for you.
or
2. Put together something in Dynamo which reports any duplicates into a Watch node - should be fairly straight forward I'd think.
Best of luck!
Thank you very much for all your answers, I will stick with the "Mark" for now.
But maybe I can make a Shared parameter that will take the value in "Mark" and put it in my new shared parameter. Is that possible to make an shared instance parameter that will take the value from "Mark". Basicaly they will be the same value. Why I want it like that? Because my firm is french and I teach others to use Revit and I want it to be easy for them. So my new shared parameter will be name "Door number" but in french, instead of using "Mark". I can do it easily, but I like when Revit detects duplicate number values, so we won't have a same door number in the project.
I think its simply this, if you use the Mark parameter Revit will detect duplicates, if you a shared parameter it wont.
Of the parameters which come with Revit, there are certain 'special' ones which have extra features like duplicate detection. Mark is one of them, also Type Mark and a few others...
I think your best bet would be to use Dynamo to process the Mark values and automatically fill in the data into another Shared Parameter...
