Hey @Mark_Abrams

Love this script. I wanted to second this question above about if we can get an option in the menu of the script to make it a stereo or mono aux please? :)

It would be amazing if it could!
Thanks so much!

I had the exact same request, and I may have found a solution. I changed a few lines in the "Create New Aux With Plugin And Route" source script, which I will share below. Remember to rename the "Plugin Name" to the exact name in Pro Tools, including "(stereo)".
I know nothing about coding, so there might be some stupid mistakes I have missed. And I obviously take no credit for the code, I literally just changed two or three lines to make it work for me and copied it here. Hope it helps until Mark Abrams replies :)
