I have some problems with the “Parameter Type” while using the Parameter.CreateSharedParameter or Parameter.AddSharedParameter nodes. Why is “Text” an invalid Parameter Type? I also tried the Select Parameter Type node, but it ends in the same Issues. Look the imagens below: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/e/7e61d8f64018798c1f28106f579d84c364ab71c6.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/1/c/1cef4c476c069be72d3cb91025743aa3e88388ba.png) ---

Weird Error, It says the ParameterType is wrong, but it is actually the Group and Groupname. Try switching those. ![Untitled](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/3/538cb3abef8cafe7e10eab5aed454582a7fab320.png) ---

I ran into this same error with an Orchid node but the problem turned out not to be the type category. It’s probably actually your Group input. I assume “Dados” is a translation for Data (?), so you need the Revit internal group name of “PG\_DATA”. Make sure it is all capitalized. ---

Hi Guys, I have this script working in Revit 2021 with no issues, but in R2022, it seems that there is an error. What has changed between the two [Orchid](https://github.com/erfajo/OrchidForDynamo/issues) versions @erfajo , or else, has anyone noticed? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/7/f/7f7ce28bb36abc1d38c8040ed7983f337cb87957.jpeg) Thanks! ---

Hi Adam, Were you able to solve it? I have the same problem. Thanks
