I am creating a door schedule. We have various pieces of information we put into the schedule, including the door type, as A, B, C, etc... These are based on the physical characteristics of the door and each door family is its own door type. As of now, this is an instance based text parameter in the door schedule within the main project that has to be manually inputted into the schedule, which of course, is extremely tedious and time consuming. I want to somehow have this parameter embedded in the door family itself, so every time I add the door family of a specific type, that parameter is already filled in. How would I go about this?

I tried opening one of the door families, going to family types, and adding a new parameter under identity data. It doesn't seem to be carrying over to the main project. Any ideas?
