    How do I click an UI element with the command key pressed down?

    I tried the "Set Keyboard Modifier State" action to enable but it didn't affect the elementClick.

    sf.keyboard.modifiers({
    isCommand: true,
});

sf.ui.proTools.automationWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Enable AutoJoin Mode').first.elementClick();

      Hi Danny

      To simulate a keyboard press held down while clicking on a UI element, you also need to simulate the mouse part.
      Click UI Element uses UI Automation, but Pro Tools doesn't register modifier keys when we use UI automation.

      To simulate a mouse click relative to a UI element, (while holding down a modifier key or not), use the "Mouse Click Relative to UI Element" action.
      Use the "Hold Command" property set to "Yes" to make it work.

          Yes, that's it. It works now. The command key was hidden behind the gear icon.
