Pro Tools Automation Window - OBJ/BUS

    Hi Christian,

    Could the OBJ/BUS button in the Automation window be added to the list?

    This is what i'm trying to do:
    var svol = sf.ui.proTools.automationWindow.enableSendVolumeAutoButton.value.invalidate().value === 'Selected'
    if (svol) {sf.ui.proTools.automationWindow.enableSendVolumeAutoButton.proToolsAutomationClickButton();}

    I can't use element click as it cannot determine if it is selected or not.

    Thanks!
    Johnny

      Hi Johnny,

      Can you elaborate on what you want the script to do? Do you want it to only turn off OBJ/BUS automation?

          I receive many sessions with all of the parameters enabled, which is not what I want, so it's part of my session prep script that interrogates the automation window, checks to see what is selected, then deselects everything except volume auto. There seems to be a button for every other parameter except Object/Bus, which I believe they added a year or two ago.

            Ah ok - try this:

            let objBusToggleBtn = sf.ui.proTools.automationWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is('Enable Object/Bus Toggle Automation').first;
if (objBusToggleBtn.value.invalidate().value === "Selected")
    objBusToggleBtn.elementClick();
