Only happened to me in newest Revit 2024 with newest version of Dynamo. It worked fine in earlier versions.

Seems like a stupid question but : I have a name of a Level which has the storeys named as 01 02 03 and so on. I use the string.split node to separate it from the rest of the Level name for further use - but the node keeps spitting out “tidied up” number - even if its all the time processed as a string type of data!

What is even weirder - after running the script that is supposed to put the string data together and fill the parameter values with it - it actually keeps the 01. So it’s just the Dynamoo itself showing string data in a wrong way.

Correct. There are some data representation issues within Revit 2024.1 that can be resolved by updating to 2024.2.

I think that’s what is going on here at least…

Correct on all points.
