Hello Dynos,

I have to do some QM. How can i find dublicated Parameters? My script works regarding collecting them, but sorting I can#t

And some “information-candy” would be to get the unique Parameter ID (18codeNumber)

My Workaround is Excel, can I find

I am glad about any help, thank you!

Something like this?

1. You get all the parameter from the Elements
2. Get the Names
3. Group them by Name (If a group contains more than 1 parameter, it means we have a duplicate)
4. Filter the groups which have more than 1 parameter.

I took your script as a base.

If you also want the guid from the shared parameters, you have to filter the ones, which are shared and get the Guid from them. (Added that to your script)
