Hi everyone,

I am pretty new to Dynamo. Today I was trying to select a text type from my project and replace it with another text type. For some reason it doesn’t work.

Anyone has any suggestions what the bug might be ?

Please see attached the screenshot ![Change%20text%20type](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/6/8/68f8e1f97efdb6a49c6049955ce7812224a56bc8.png)

We can’t read your image. Try zooming in so the nodes are legible then use the camera icon in the top right of the window to screenshot the whole workspace.

What I can see is that you try to pass “false” and “true” to probably the value of “Element.SetParameterByName”. This must be a “TextNoteType.ByName”.
