Global.State Issue or Menu recall?

Title

Global.State Issue or Menu recall?

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

I have a script I wrote ages ago that stopped working a few months back with an updated of PT or Soundflow, I don't remember. But trying to troubleshoot it now and struggling. I read that there was a change in how info is recovered from Global state, and I've tried to fix this accordingly and no joy. But I also can't tell what exactly it is failing on as it isn't giving me an error, it just stops halfway through and doesn't export.

The idea of the script is a have clip groups on a channel named "Export", then a load of output busses after that in my project. So I select all the buses I want to export, AND the Export channel strip, then Soundflow takes the name from the Clip Group on the Export channel, copies it and uses it for the song title. It then deselects the Export channel strip and just exports the others. It iterates over all the clip groups so I can export a big session quickly.

It stops at the point I think it's trying to open the Track menu item "bounce..." I tried replacing that menu call with the keyboard shortcut and that also didn't work. Maybe that's not what is tripping it up but I see it opens the rename, copies the text, closes the rename, selects the correct tracks, then it just kind of fails with no error

Any help fixing this is much appreciated!

Are you seeing an error?

What happens when you run this script?

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app
