Hello! @Cyril-Pop was helping me on another forum with my initial problem. I was trying to toggle a global parameter Called "Print Ready". "Print Ready" is attached to a bunch of different families to hide guidelines and other non print elements. The reason I wanted the toggle (versus just going to the global parameters) was that I wanted to combine it with another dynamo script.

The formula above is basically identical to my original formula, just with "Print Ready" in the first code block. I ensured that all spellings were correct and that there were no extra spaces. but the GlobalParameter.SetValue did not work to toggle the parameter. I even check to make sure the element ID was correct in the GlobalParameter.FindByName.

The GlobalParameter.SetValue just reported null and did nothing in the project
