      Hey @AdamDavidSmith, it's because they're using the ellipsis character ("…") instead of three actual periods ("..."). They look similar but one is a single character while the other is three. Avid has been inconsistent with their usage of this so anytime three periods don't work, try using the ellipsis character instead, which you can copy paste from this post.

      sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Pro Tools", "Settings…"]});

      Although I suggest pulling up the preferences through the following menu path instead, which has remained consistent throughout the years:

      sf.ui.proTools.menuClick({ menuPath: ["Setup", "Preferences..."]});

      (this is a good example of the inconsistency I was talking about—here we have three periods instead of the ellipsis character)
