I have noticed at least two (so far) Revit system parameters that appear they cannot be customized. In Sheets, one is the parameter "Date/Time Stamp" and the other is "Scale". The suggestion would be the ability to set custom text for these in the following manners:
Date/Time Stamp: When printing a sheet, there is no option to change the way the date and time are formatted, and no way to turn the display of the hours:minutes:seconds off. So instead of just "20NOV2021" or even 11/20/2021 at 2:16 PM we are stuck with this:
Scale: When a sheet contains multiple viewports that have more than one scale, this system parameter just displays "As indicated", meaning we cannot change it to "VARIES" or even "NTS" if desired. One cannot even make it all caps unless you find a font that is in all caps.
There are probably at least a handful of other examples where system parameters cannot be customized in terms of what they display in different circumstances, but this would be a very small, useful feature to add. Perhaps this could become part of a larger menu item under the Additional Settings menu, combining it with the new "Multiple Values Indication" that is a lone dialog box unto itself in 2022.
