This is actually a Revit API change and Dynamo needs to be updated to fix this. I believe there have been quite a few similar threads that @solamour has responded on too.

This has now been resolved internally and will make it both into Revit 2023.1 and be hotfixed back to Revit 2023.

Thank you for the response. Do you know when the new release is coming out or a hotfix?

Hi @jmatthi - Unfortunately the one thing we cannot disclose is dates here at Autodesk :frowning: So I’m afraid not. The hotfix, by its very nature, will be out as soon as it’s ready. So sooner on that one than Revit 2023.1

Thank you. Sorry to ask about sensitive information. I will be on the lookout for the hotfix

No worries at all! :smiley: You can ask anything and everything you like. I’m more than happy to help out as much as I can, but am simply limited in a small range of things.
