Scroll to selection and plugin open SSL UF1 UC1 Pro Tools

Title

Scroll to selection and plugin open SSL UF1 UC1 Pro Tools

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

It's supposed to scroll to selected track (Pro Tools), which tells my UF1 to change channel when I select it. Which it is doing fine. But it is also supposed to check the selected channel for SSL Channel Strip and launch the GUI for that plugin, which will tell the UC1 to go to that channel. It was working fine in PT 2024.4 on Sonoma, but I got the SF-1189 issue with the contextual menus. Because I'm currently in the process of switching to PT from a different DAW, I was able to do a fresh install of Ventura on my computer, and roll back PT to 2024.3. My UF1 now goes to the correct channel, but my UC1 doesn't move. The script does appear to be doing something, as the tracks with SSL Native Channel Strip 2 end up moving around the screen (ie. Audio 13 jumps to where Audio 1 was etc).

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

Track selection results in scrolling to selection, but the part where the script is supposed to open the SSL plugin is not working

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?
