Zones displaying different content

I have some Modules that are Published from a Teamshare. They are then placed in another Teamshare but they display differently in that Teamshare despite in the source Teamshare setting my Zones to only show the following....
  • Zone Name
    Zone Number
    Calculated area
What I see in the receiving Teamshare is
  • Zone Name
    Zone Number
    Calculated area
    Floor Type
    Height
I seem to remember in previous versions of ArchiCAD there was a way of setting the Defaults for the Zones but I can't find it in ArchiCAD 22

Hello,

Working with module means having exactly the same attributes into all of your files
You have to check it by this way : Options / Element Attributes / Attribute Manager

Is there any difference between your files about Zone ?

That would be implying that Floor Type and Height are default attributes that are missing in the module and hence could not be removed in the settings, turning up when placed in a file where they are available? Did not think that Zone content fields were defined by the files attributes...

Is the module made in the same version of AC as the host? Might the Zone Stamp object be migrating versions and hence changing slightly?

Height and Floor Type are part of the Zone Object I have the same Libraries loaded in both Teamshares and in the first TS I had it displaying correctly but as I said it wasn't working in the receiving file.

Weirdly after some experimentation I changed the Zone Object via the Options/Element Attributes/Zone Categories to a different Zone Object that the receiving file was using to the sending TS and I now have it displaying what I want but it is a laborious process to change the Zone Objects as we have a lot of Zone Categories

I've had some problems with zones displaying things incorrectly in the past and the fix that ended up working was swapping all the stamps to a different stamp in the 'Zone Categories...' menu and then swapping them back. Very tedious, but that fixed everything.
