What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

record enable a selected track

Are you seeing an error?

// Soundflow Script to Record Enable Selected Track in Pro Tools

// Make sure Pro Tools is the active application
sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

// Get the selected track
let track = sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack;

// Check if a track is selected
if (track.exists) {
// Focus on the track to ensure it is selected
track.trackScrollToView();

// Find the record enable button for the selected track
let recordEnableButton = track.buttons.filter(button => button.role == "AXRecordEnableButton");

// Check if the record enable button exists
if (recordEnableButton.length > 0) {
    // Enable record on the selected track
    recordEnableButton[0].elementClick();

    // Confirm that the track is record enabled
    recordEnableButton[0].elementExists().assertTrue("Record Enable button not found");
} else {
    // If the record enable button is not found, show a message
    sf.ui.showModalMessage("Record Enable button not found on the selected track.");
}

} else {
// If no track is selected, show a message
sf.ui.showModalMessage("No track is selected. Please select a track first.");
