Change the "human readable" Shared Parameter Name, how?

[Alban_de_Chasteigner]

Hi @Draxl_Andreas,

It isn’t possible to rename the project parameters associated to a shared parameters file as discussed here :

Rename Shared Parameter in a txt file

It is not possible to rename the project parameter associated to a shared parameter once it was created. You can change the Parameter Name in the shared parameter file, but this will have no effect. The best is to transfer the parameter values ​​to a new parameter with the new name and delete the old shared parameter. On the other hand, for shared parameters in families, there are well-known workarounds.

A workaround to rename the family parameters associated to a shared parameters file :

Rename Shared Parameter in a txt file

I don’t think Dynamo is the most suitable tool for this task. Update the Parameter Name in your shared Parameter file. Create an empty project. Add the Project Parameters with the updated names from the Shared Parameter file before loading in any families. Load the families with the old Family Parameter Names and they will acquire the new names. Save the Families from the project.
