Does anyone know of a node that allows you to set the Phase Filter of a view? If so, what package does it come from?  
I’m trying to change the phase filters of all of my views at the same time to a particular phase filter used by our company. Since there’s 700+ views in our template, I definitely don’t want to do this manually.

There’s nothing special about Phase Filter. You can set it using `SetParameterByName`. It does take the `PhaseFilter` element though. You can get those from `Element Types`.

Sounds good  
I tried doing the SetParameterByName and I’m coming up with a couple errors

Sorry for the mess of nodes, I tried a couple options. The first error I get is “Parameter’s storage type is not a string”. So I tried just imputing them directly from other nodes and it errors out says it expected Revit.Elements.Element,string,var and is getting string.string.string.  
Ideas from here?

Like I said, you need to be providing the `PhaseFilter` element, not a string. The error says you’re providing all strings, but the image shows you supplying the view element, so I think you’re good there. You just need to get the correct `PhaseFilter` from your project.
