Feature Request: Value Pickers Support Text Input

Rhino.Inside Revit
1

Hi, I urgently need to import text data from Excel to Revit through Rhino Inside.
There are Excel data such as Built-In Parameter Types or Built-In Parameter Group that do not have a query node but only a value picker in Rhino Inside. I have to call the Revit API and do string compare in Python in the end.

I hope all value picker can support a text input in the future that output elements based on the matching text from the value picker. There are also quiet some space on the input side of all picker nodes to support this feature.

On top, it will also make other selections such as categories and levels much easier. Becasue the query and value picker nodes are lying everywhere, its easier to find one of them than the other sometimes.

Thanks

If i understand correctly you are ideally looking for something like Query Categories, where you could input a name and description to get what you need from Built-in Parameters and Groups?

Like this (check the drop down list and grey it out if text input is connected)

Because most architecture firms are dealing with data in revit and many cases from Excel all the time. This can make our life much easier to get our need from string inputs
