It really has to be created in 26.

Then you can use that object in 27, 28+.

 

It may be possible to add the object to the embedded library, then save the 28 file back to 27 and then save the 27 file back to 26.

That should convert the object back to 26 format.

 

But depending on how many parameters there are, it may just be easier to create a new object in 26 and then copy and paste the parameters and the scripts fro the 28 object.

Note that doing it this way will create a new object with a new GSID, so it won't be compatible with any objects you have already placed in a 28 file.
