Revit 2017
I thought if I created a shared parameter and then linked it to a label in several different sheets and made a project parameter from the shared parameter that they would all be linked. however, they all change independently. How do I make a parameter than can be shared with several different sheets and when it is changed in one location it will update in all locations

There are parameters in a Revit sheet that do this like "project number". Is it just that you cannot add your own and you have to stick with the list that comes with a Revit sheet and that is it?

You can assign parmaters to sheets that are type - not instance.

The only place I see an option for type vs instance is when creating a project parameter and I do not see Title Sheets in the category list for either. Also, there is not a type or instance option for creating a shared parameter and there is not that option when adding a parameter to a label within a title block.
Where do I make that instances vs type decision that makes this work? Or is it not Title Sheet category with project parameter that I am looking for?

I did find that you can an a parameter with a instance vs type option with family types in a title block. I cannot figure out how to relate that to a label on the title block. I'm still missing something.

There is no title sheet definition in Revit - only sheets. Title sheets are a sheet.
If you want this parameter to show up in the titleblock rather than the sheet properties of the project, you will have to add it to the sheet family instead.
