Apologies in advance as this is quite technical and got everyone stumped so far

We're working on large healtcare schemes and have a shared instance parameter(s) in families and project.  (We have these as instances rather than types as otherwise we get too many unique codes in the codebook link)

What we've found is that when these are placed then revit remembers the default instance paramter for that family when dragged from the project browser into the project area. HOWEVER if before clicking in the project when dragging families from the browser if the INSTANCE parameter is overriden at this point then any future familes (of that category) will also have that value regardless of thier'default' value (ie what the the family shows).  If the category changes (ie from specialy equipment to plumbing) then the default values come in again but if you do the same thing then this overiddes all future placements for that family category also.

Is this a revit glitch?  I can see how it would be useful but also how it needs to be reset sometimes also.  Can anyone shed any light before the issue is sent to Autodesk.
