Remove warning/pop-up when modifying type parameter values within a schedule

Remove warning/pop-up when modifying type parameter values within a schedule

Please remove the warning/pop-up that appears when editing scheduled fields that are tied to type parameters.  This is EXTREMELY annoying when entering data for our MEP schedules.  I.E. Plumbing Fixtures, Air Devices, Lighting Fixtures, etc.

The popup reads:

"This change will be applied to all elements of type _______."

 

In instances where we are filling out a schedule, we are forced to enter our data, press enter or click out of the cell, and then respond to this popup. EVERY TIME

 

This did not exist in the product long ago and then at some point it just appeared as a new 'feature' (R15?).  Please remove it!

 

It is also negatively affecting our dynamo graphs that we're trying to develop where we pull data from excel into the model.

See this post for how to use the DialogBoxShowing event to accomplish this:

Thanks @boostyourbim ! I will implement this macro into our template.

 

I wish this dialog box had a "don't ask me again" checkbox

Yes, please include a way to suppress this dialog natively.

Autodesk needs to acknowledge that this warning is so unbelievably disruptive to inputting values in Revit schedules that the workarounds and add-ins for exporting schedules outside of Revit to do all you work and then import back in has become so mainstream that people have given up on it ever being addressed, and aren't likely to find this forum to vote up.

This is a terrible user interface feature that makes Revit schedules truly horrible to input information. 
Please fix.

This is the worst 'feature' ever.

I'm literally TRYING to edit all the types when I edit the schedule.  That is the PURPOSE.

I cannot think of ANY reason this warning exists.

PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO DISABLE THIS POP-UP, IT IS DETRIMENTAL TO FILLING OUT SCHEDULES.
