I'm very new to AC and completely new to creating objects. What I want to do is have a lighting object automatically get the room name or number from the zone it's are placed on so that I can use that in my schedules. The door tags can do this so I'm hoping it's possible.
I've created some basic lighting symbols with parameters I can modify for various information - I could just add a room name parameter but if it could be automatic that would be pretty cool.
Any help is appreciated - thanks!

Be careful though in V11 - there is a bug.
The value for cat_name will also return the zone name.
It should really be returning the zone category but doesn't.
Hopefully it will be fixed in the next hotfix - it has been reported to GS.

But be aware, that you (AFAIK) can't store the result in a object parameter by the PARAMETERS command.If it has to be visible in the shedules, this might become a problem.
