On a family like the the "outlet floor - single" electrical fixture, a stock revit symbol, can the properties "Electrical - Loads" be modified? Their fields are grayed out. See attached. I tried to edit the family but couldn't find those properties in the family.

These are type variables and may be locked in the family, so then edit the family.
You have this under the Revit Building category but my floor outlets do not have these parameters. Are you sure this is not a MEP family? As such, these values will be used in your systems so know what you are doing.

it is true of EVERY lighting fixture in the entire project. both parameters (panel and circuit#) under "Elecrical Loads" in the properties box. Modifying one family wouldn't help

if you try to enter info in those fields in a schedule, it cannot be done. The seem to be locked somehow.

My solution: define a new field and ignore it.
