Hi, I was creating a graph to rename all the placed textnote family types in my project with a different & standardized prefix. I was getting there but came across the “The parameter is read-only” error. I have looked at the other discussions but haven’t seen the solution. Do you have any idea how to get this script working? Thank you so much! ![Dynamo%20-%20Can't%20set%20Parameter%20for%20TextNote%20Type%20Name](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/1/b1ead574a764340041fc7f7422773b36749e62e6.jpeg) ![Dynamo%20-%20Can't%20set%20Parameter%20for%20TextNote%20Type%20Name%20Warning](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/5/d/5d2eeb02a1ddfc10fda5c30bb02f11714b4ac9e3.jpeg) ---

Hi @archjahzzy Use Element.SetName custom node from clockwork package to rename types. ---

@archjahzzy You need to feed elements not string. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/3/f/3f57309f743952f4af6bee5f367022ef0452e5cb.jpeg) ---

@archjahzzy Make sure you connect family types to elements input. ---
