Are you looking to get the name of the Reference Level?

Have you tried one of the \*.Name nodes? [Element.Name](http://Element.Name) or [Level.Name](http://Level.Name)

@catalyst1412 Use [Element.Name](http://Element.Name) node or [Level.Name](http://Level.Name) node.

Because Parameter (Reference Level) storage type is Element Id. Hope that makes sense.
