[A5hkan]

✈ Pre-Flight checks

• I don't have SentinelOne antivirus installed (see above for the solution)
• I have searched in the issues (open and closed) but couldn't find a similar issue
• I have searched in the pyRevit Forum for similar issues
• I already followed the installation troubleshooting guide thoroughly
• I am using the latest pyRevit Version

🐞 Describe the bug

The tool "Create Workset For Linked Element" has stopped working i the latest release. pyRevit can't see the model has worksharing activated. The tool returns a message saying " The Document doesn't have worksharing enabled. Enable it?" with Yes and No options. Both buttons return the same result. A message saying "The Script cannot run in a document without worksharing." tested in Revit 2025.4.4 (Latest Release).

Might be this one 1b4b0a2 @Denver-22
Skimming through it now always alerts instead checking first?

I tested the script on Revit 2025.4 from pyRevit 6.1.0 with the old loader.
It works correctly.
Also, the doc.IsWorkshared and doc.CanEnableWorksharing properties were unchanged in Revit API 2025.

@A5hkan Does pyRevit 6 use the new loader?

Judging by the "Error/Debug Message," I suspect the problem isn't with the script.

Yes, it doesn't seem to check first. I assume "YES" returns warning since the model already has worksharing activated.

I'm not sure how to check which loader i being used with 6.1.0 on my machine.
btw. I'm getting the same error in Revit 24 and 26 both latest versions.

@A5hkan you can check loader (or switch new loader off) from pyRevit Settings (Look under Core Settings).
It should be on by default in 6.X

correct, they weren't changed, but you removed them 😄

So broken for me as well, can confirm

@OnePowerUser88 Hi. Thank you. I tried deactivating the new Loader and restart Revit. Still same error.

[Denver-22]

returns warning since the model already has worksharing activated.

Thanks for the tip on where to look for the error.
I hope it's now fixed.
