If you are running into this issue, the only fix will be to go back to the main model, duplicate the offending type and replace all the instances of the offending type. When you’re done, it’s best to delete the offending family type altogether so you don’t run into this issue again.

There is a bug in Revit 2019 that
you might want to be aware of if you work with design options a lot.
If you create a new family type
(wall type, floor type, furniture type, …) while working in a primary design
option, something weird happens: if you now try to change the Primary, you
will get a message saying: “No element in a secondary Option can be
referenced by an element outside that Option.” Your only option will be to
cancel (the OK button is grayed out).

This process can be time
consuming, so it’s probably best to not make any new types while in a design
option. We’ll amend this post as soon as a fix is available.
