Details
In our company environment, we have been using Revit 2023.1 with Dynamo 2.16 without issues. However, after upgrading to Revit 2025.2 with Dynamo 3.2 in the past month, we’ve encountered a persistent problem.
When Dynamo scripts are set to Automatic mode and use Dynamo Revit nodes (such as the Categories dropdown node) at the starting point, any action in the project view—like moving elements or adjusting visibility settings—triggers a continuous refresh of that starting node. If a TaskDialog is used in the script, users are then faced with a series of pop-up dialogs, creating a frustrating experience.
This issue did not exist in the 2023. However, since the 2025 upgrade, we are now seeing it in both Revit 2025 and Revit 2023 environments. We suspect that while different versions of Dynamo have separate configurations, a shared dependency may have been iterated during the update, causing this behavior.
Questions:
What could be causing this issue?
Is there a way to resolve or work around it?
This behavior has a significant impact on our workflow, as our Dynamo scripts, which run from the Ribbon and are set to Automatic mode, are essential for approximately 2,000 users.
Thank you in advance for any guidance or solutions!
