    Hi guys. The Modify Groups window seems to miss the group id selection. Ive tried different script variations and all fail at the same point.

    I get no errors so it thinks it's performing the script correctly. It just doesn't allocate tracks to the desired (or any) group.

    I can see it run through to open the first pop up "ID" then it fails to open the subsequent menu to select the group.

    Currently using @Chad 's Pro Tools Utility script.

    Thanks in advance,

    Mark.

        Hi, I'm also having a similar problem, it sometimes doesn't work and sometimes adds the tracks to the wrong group. I'm using the searchable option to the script.

            Hi @Iuri_Cunha

            I found that @Andrew_Scheps Session Prep Helper package worked great! You can find it in the store... Happy grouping!

              @Mark_Evans and @Iuri_Cunha,

              The issue concerns some pop-up menus running asynchronously in macOS Sonoma and Sequoia. Avid has addressed this in some places, but this may be a specific menu (the group menu) that still needs a fix. You can read more about this here:

              I went through and updated my scripts for "Add Tracks to Existing Group (Searchable or By Name)" and "Update Selected Group With Selected Tracks (Searchable or By Name)", and they should be working in version 1.2.4 of my package.

              See this page for the latest updates:

              If you have other issues with any of my scripts or scripts from other users' packages, it's best to ask those via the package forums:

                  Thanks for the update! It seems to be working fine now!
