Hey everyone!
Since Revit 2023 came out there have been quite a few issues with the SetParameterByName node due to API changes.
It looks like the hotfix is out and it is working as expected now! (see below)
Download
The download can be found in your manage.autodesk.com account and I highly recommend everyone get it installed ASAP if you are using 2023.

Hi I am trying to understand why the Element.SetParameterByName wont work for me and how I work around it. I am not an expert at programing but know enough to screw things up.

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.

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…

Hello @scott.tomlinson - This has now been resolved for Revit 2023.1 and Dynamo 2.15, and will also be hot-fixed back to Revit 2023.0.1 along with a bunch of other bug fixes in Revit.
Unfortunately I cannot gives dates on this, but the hotfix should be coming out relatively soon So sorry for the frustration on this one.
As rightly noted, it’s a generic problem that had to be remedied inside the Unit Converter class: fix the issue revit-191624 (#2826) by wangyangshi · Pull Request #2846 …

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

This comes with a few caveats:

Hi All
I am contemplating installing the hotfix.
Does anyone know of any API changes that might break my scripts?
What is your experience using the update?
Thanks!

Personally haven’t seen any issues with Dynamo.

Thanks! I’ll just take the leap and see.
So, I wanted to come back and update this thread and say… It appears that Revit 2023.1 (2023.1.1) has fixed this issue (finally).
Hoping everyone can get this fix this time around.
Side Note: This is a prime example of why having Dynamo included in Revit (with no ability to update), is actually causing more problems. Unless you replaced DLLs as recommended in another post, you would have been stuck with the MeasurableSpec bugs since Revit 2023’s initial release.
