I'm creating a template for my office to use and I'm in the process of creating Existing and New Construction views.

When I'm in my Existing Floor Plans, the elevations tags are linked to my Existing Elevations, and vice versa for my New Construction, no problem there.

When I go to my New Construction Elevations and click on a level tag, it takes me to my New Construction Floor Plans, no problem there.  But when I go to my Existing Elevations and click on a level tag, it takes me to my New Construction Floor Plans and NOT my Existing Floor Plans.

Why do my Existing Elevation level tags not link to my Existing Floor Plans??

What do you mean "when I go to my Existing Elevations and click on a level tag"  what is a "level tag"?

Is your phasing actually set to existing in your existing elevations?  I honestly did not know you could click on the level tags and have them bring you to your floor plan so I'm not totally sure how that works.  If you have 2 floor plans created from the same level on the same phase just showing different things (like say a furniture vs floor plan) how would revit know which floor plan to take you to?

They're phased correctly.

You can see in my project browser that I have them filtered/sorted by Phase.

Revit correctly brings me to the Existing Elevation if I click on the elevation tag in my Existing Floor Plan.  So I don't see why Revit couldn't link back to the view which brought me there..?  It works correctly for all the New Construction views.  I dont know why its not working for the Existing.

Levels associate to only the first plan created with them.  From then on all plans will refer to that plan.  You can't have multiple levels with the same name so you can't have what you want.
