I think it may be something to do with dependant views? But I cant get the sheet number value for this and some other views on sheets. Anyone know whats up?
whaaaaaaat
@vanman ,
Are you filtering correctly in my case under “views” there severial other types of elements
No luck. I notice I can report the sheet number from the viewport. Not sure how to get the views viewport though as a weird way to fix
Can you share your revit file?
“Referencing Sheet” input as ParameterName. not Sheet Number
trying to sort a file for ya. Referencing sheet is the wrong information. I want the sheet number. Which is showing in the revit parameter. Dynamos just not pulling it
I cleared out the revit file to send to you with just sheets and views but then it started reporting the sheet number with the file cleared out 
Sorry I think I know what’s happening! The ReferenceCalloutsView node is getting the the main view. Not the the split up dependent view the reference callout is in. Would anyone know how to fix that?
For instance its getting
But it should be getting one of these two views, whichever the reference callout is in

else: return None
items = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
if isinstance(IN[0], list): OUT = [GetOwnerView(x) for x in items]
else: OUT = GetOwnerView(items)
@Ewan_Opie simple fix by any chance? Had covid this week so only just now been feeling ok to dynamo again 
still need to try out your tag all views node
maybe something here
Had to add a dependent views checker. This isnt a great fix, dosnt really work with the script if its checking things in a linked or open project with element.isvisable node to get the right dependent view
I should think so, will look Monday 
Bugger that for a joke, hope you are properly on the mend.

I got 540 errors with this test. I can only vaguely understand what your doing in the code. But I see there’s a method to get viewports. Will this work when the element is coming from a linked view too?
Ah, are most of these were linked views?
yeah unfortunately. To find out where typical details are used in linked projects too. Could be searching through a few projects sometimes. It was working all good till dependent views got thrown into the mix with this one project
Adding references to look in link documents seems to be working, give this a go.

I was hoping you’d give this a go! 
I was trying but failing with Genius Loki/clockwork code. Sometimes people didn’t have a project linked in so I used this node that got all links and open documents for them to pick from. So the other projects come through as below. Not sure if there’s a node to get the link instance from something if its just another open document? Or would it be an easy fix?
The code I was trying with which worked for get callouts…
#Part of script from Clockwork
inputdoc = UnwrapElement(IN[0])
if inputdoc == None:
doc = DocumentManager.Instance.CurrentDBDocument
elif isinstance (inputdoc, RevitLinkInstance) :
doc = inputdoc.GetLinkDocument()
elif isinstance (inputdoc, Document) :
doc = inputdoc
else: doc = None
If you already have a list of LinkDocuments in the project then this part of the code can be adjusted, as this was just converting and loaded LinkInstances to Doc format. Change to the below.
# Allow for link docs
linkDocs = tolist(IN[1])
LviewNames = []
LviewportIds = []
Lviews = []
LviewIds = []
LviewRefs = []
for Ldoc in linkDocs:
Lviewports = FilteredElementCollector(Ldoc).OfCategory(BuiltInCategory.OST_Viewports).WhereElementIsNotElementType().ToElements()
