> Hey guys! I just recently started learning about Dynamo and I have a bugging issue in Revit which I continue to do manually but I want to automatize it. I need to name all of these foundation piles in Revit to have a name that starts with “P” and then continuous to numbers from 1 to n, I choose it to be in Identity Data - Comment section (as shown in photo). Can you suggest any shortcut for this via Dynamo? Thanks in advance!

I’m using similar approach to set the marks of doors.
