Question

Is it possible to create parameters that are single use only?

If I'm using restricted parameter values for something like drawing numbers. Is it possible to make only the unused values available for new drawing numbers?

 

For example if I list 100-150 for the available drawing numbers and I have assigned 100-105 on previous drawings. Is it possible to have those numbers removed from the list of available drawing numbers? So that when I create a new drawing the only options that would be available would be 106-150?

Nope, not with restricted parameters. The only way I can think of is creating a custom J-Link program that is automatically doing parameter value validation.

Since it is a manual process to change the range of valid values for a restricted parameter, you probabaly shouldn't use restricted parameters for ranges that need to change.
