Set beam Y and Z justification failing in Revit 2023

Hi! I had a script that worked with revit 2021 and now with revit 2023 stopped working the node of set element parameter by name, regarding beam justification. This is what I get for Y justification that worked before. The same thing happens with Z justification. [Dynamo] I believe it has something to do with the new API changes, since it worked before. If I put true or false it gives no error, but is for properties with checkboxes and not this one with 4 options. Any help? Anyone else has…

Bummer on this one, but it seems there might still be an issue. Which is odd as it’s not what I saw after I ran the update.

We’re looking into a proper fix now - it appears, as Gavin mentioned above, to be an installer build issue. We’re working on properly identifying how to resolve this issue
