Parsing BuiltInParameters returning errors... (Bug?)

Developers

When parsing the BuiltInParameters and trying to pull the LabelUtils.GetLabelFor to the human readable label, there are several bips that come up with nothing for the label. (And one invalid, so haven’t figured that out either.)

These bips do have strings (or should)

I’m guessing this is something not right in either IronPython or Dynamo’s implementation. Not sure where to post this as a bug.

myBuiltInParameterGroups = System.Enum.GetValues(BuiltInParameterGroup)

oohhh so this is the new thread you are talking about, i think revit api has some missing description attributes for those enum, thats why you can’t use that same method to get its “friend name”. why not use System.Enum.GetName(enumtype, enum) to get its name instead when the GetLabelFor() method fails
