      Hey @Tom_Mochiach, the name of the input monitoring button has changed in recent versions of Pro Tools.
      If you change this line:

          var inputBtn = track.buttons.whoseTitle.is('TrackInput Monitor').first;

      to this:

          var inputBtn = track.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith("Input monitoring ").first;

      Should allow the script to interact with the button correctly.

          could you be so kind to allow me the full script to toggle last track's input monitoring?

            function toggleInput(trackName) {
            var track = sf.ui.proTools.invalidate().trackGetByName({
            name: trackName,
            makeVisible: true,
            }).track;

                var inputBtn = track.buttons.whoseTitle.startsWith("Input monitoring ").first;
inputBtn.elementClick();

            }

            function toggleInputOfLastTrack() {
            var lastTrackName = sf.ui.proTools.trackNames.slice(-1)[0];
            toggleInput(lastTrackName);
            }

            toggleInputOfLastTrack();
