How is possible to move the viewport title in Revit 2019 with Dynamo?

To quote your own too early for the API reply (sorry, couldn’t help myself):

The only way to workaround API not being present is generally hacks that abuse other features. In the case of view titles I’m not familiar with any myself, although John’s workflow looks interesting despite its many noted limits.

This works for me, but you wont be able to control the viewport title beyond where the placement puts it I think:

for vp in viewports_ex:
	doc.Delete(vp.Id)

TransactionManager.Instance.TransactionTaskDone()

# Make new viewports
TransactionManager.Instance.EnsureInTransaction(doc)

for v,s,b in zip(vids,sids,bcts):
	vp_new = Viewport.Create(doc,s,v,b)
	viewports_new.append(vp_new)
