Unlocking a Panel Board Spare

Revit

Hello,

Is there a way to report a panel board circuit breaker (slot) Locked status and then change said circuit breaker(s) to be unlocked? Using the IsSlotLocked method of the PanelScheduleView Class I can report the values of True and False by Cell to determine if the Slot is Locked, but I am unable to change the Slot from Locked to Unlocked. Is this possible through Python/Dynamo?

I have looked into Assigning a Name of a Spare through this thread:
https://forum.dynamobim.com/t/name-of-spare-circuit/31757
But this only covers renaming and assigning a VA value to a Spare.

Please see below for a portion of my graph and the Python script for the IsSlotLocked node:

As of last year, there were still no API methods for locking or unlocking panel slots. I haven’t seen any changes to this yet.

SetLockSlot
As an update to this post, Revit 2023 API has introduced the SetLockSlot() method from the PanelScheduleView class. It is now possible to set the Lock status of a slot in a panel schedule view to be locked or unlocked.
