Add shared parameter

Hi everyone
I would like to add some shared parameter inside a family document. I’m trying to use “SharedParameters.Add” node from Orchid, but I can’t understand what should I give as input for “groupType”. Node guide suggests to give as input “Grouptype as Dynamo type” but I can’t understand what it does means. Can anyone support me?
Thank you

Orchid Package support is done via the package’s GitHub, so you may want to check there.

Hi There! In latest versions of Dynamo there is a OOTB Node “Group Types”, in which you can select the tab, in which parameter will appear in properties. In older versions of Dynamo it was just input string like “PG_Data”. Try both options

Hi !
The first option is what I need, since I have to give as input a GroupType and not a string.
Thank

Unfortunately, the Group Types node does not offer a selection to put parameters in the Other group.

Try using a null value. This should correspond to the Other grouptype. I think they might have added an explicitly enumerated option in 2026.

Thanks for the suggestion. I added this to generate a null value (Object.IsNull thinks it is)…


…but the SharedParameter.Add node from Orchid did not like it.
