First script using chat GPT (would be awsome that it works as most of protools users want to spend time doing their jobs, would be the perfect companion for me and thousand others !)

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

Hi, asked chat GPT to do that script for me (would be holy grail for me if working). Seems quite simple : Group selected tracks (prompt for name), deactivate groupe, create VCA with that group

Thanks !

Are you seeing an error?

Says error line 16 Shows up in the top right corner pop up (the usual soundflow one)

What happens when you run this script?

Run the script / get error :(

How were you running this script?

I clicked the "Run Script" or "Run Macro" button in SoundFlow

How important is this issue to you?
