For some reason we cannot change the view type of a "fake" callout or section that is referencing the same detail or drafting view. Changing a tag type (from "Detail - SIM" to "Detail - OH" for example) that is "referencing another view" will actually change the view type of the original view being referenced and then any tag that has been previously referencing the same view. I don't remember Revit working this way in the past and I have no idea why one would want it to work this way. We may have a drafting view or a detail view that we want to call out as SIM, O.H. or TYP.
I feel like this must be a project setting but I cannot figure out how to fix this.

It always works that way. Original and references are always the same view type.
Thanks.
Do you have a method for utilizing different refence labels to refer to one drafting view?
We may want one tag to say "Similar (SIM)" and another to say "Typical (TYP)," for example.
I know I've done that in the past somehow - I thought it was by creating multiple view types to use when "referencing other views."

I don't use the built-in reference label and use text for TYP, SIM, OH, etc...
Or you can turn off the bubble from the reference callout and place a view reference instead. You can make different view reference types with different labels.
Essentially the issue is that the built-in "Reference Label" parameter is type based and you need it to be instance based so that it can vary by instance.
The other issue, which is a long standing feature request, is to be able to add new shared parameters into callout families so you could create your own label and have it do what you want.
Yes, that would definitely be amazing. We had some way of doing this 10 years ago at my old office but totally can't remember at this point what we did. Lol!
