Creat markers and name them in PT

This script will do what you want. It will let you specify a number for the marker too. If you need to use your own number just change the second line var markerNumber = "" to something like var markerNumber = "46".
To name your marker just change "Test Marker" in the third line to whatever name you want.

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

// set constants and variables
var markerName = "Test Marker";
var markerNumber = ""

const memLocationDialog = sf.ui.proTools.newMemoryLocationDialog;


// Open Memory Location Dialog
sf.keyboard.press({
    keys: "numpad enter",
});
memLocationDialog.elementWaitFor();

//  Enter Memory location name
memLocationDialog.textFields.whoseTitle.is("").allItems[1].elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
    value: markerName,
});

// Enter Marker number
if (markerNumber != "") {
    memLocationDialog.textFields.whoseTitle.is("").allItems[2].elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({
        value: markerNumber,
        useMouseKeyboard: true
    });
}

// Close memory location window
memLocationDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first.elementClick();

Is there a way to do this without script and also without a pre defined memory location number?
I tried the below but I keep getting the error "could not find UI element"

That's how I'm doing it now, not as sexy as the script but it works great, I created two sets, one to create markers and one to recall the markers and put them on a Deck, I did it for different types of sessions but this one on pict is for regular pop music and it's most common markers.

@raphaelsepulveda has a great script in his Utilities package called Create/Go To Temp Location it's a template so you can just create as many presets as you want. The first time you press the button it will create a marker with user defined text and every time after when you press it it will take you to that marker.

No coding needed just making presets.

I also have Advanced Memory locations that has some similar functionality but is also packed with a bunch of other bells and whistles. It's honestly a bit more clunky than Raphael's script.

Hey @marcello_azevedo ,

Here's a little function I wrote that might do what you want. You can modify it to set your marker to do different things.

//////////////////////////////////////////////////CREATE NEW MARKER
function createNewMarker({ newMarkerNumber, newMarkerName }) {
    let newMemLocWindow = pt.newMemoryLocationDialog
    let cb = newMemLocWindow.checkBoxes
    let okBtn = newMemLocWindow.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first
    let confDialog = pt.confirmationDialog
    let confDialogOK = confDialog.buttons.whoseTitle.is("OK").first
    sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "numpad enter", });
    newMemLocWindow.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Appear" });

    if (newMarkerNumber !== undefined) {
        sf.wait({ intervalMs: 250 })
        pt.newMemoryLocationDialog.textFields.allItems[2].elementClick();
        sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "backspace" })
        sf.keyboard.type({ text: newMarkerNumber })
        sf.keyboard.press({ keys: "tab" })
    }

    sf.wait({ intervalMs: 500 })

    if (newMarkerName !== undefined) {
        sf.wait({ intervalMs: 250 })
        newMemLocWindow.textFields.allItems[1].elementSetTextFieldWithAreaValue({ value: newMarkerNumber + ". " + newMarkerName, });
    }

    newMemLocWindow.radioButtons.whoseTitle.is("Marker").first.elementClick();
    newMemLocWindow.popupButtons.first.popupMenuSelect({ menuPath: ["Bar | Beat"], });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Zoom Settings").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Pre/Post Roll Times").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Track Visibility").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Track Heights").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Group Enables").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    cb.whoseTitle.is("Window Configuration").first.checkboxSet({ targetValue: "Disable", });
    okBtn.elementClick();
    if (confDialog.exists) { confDialogOK.elementClick(); }
    newMemLocWindow.elementWaitFor({ waitType: "Disappear" })
};

you can call it by writing the following line in your script

createNewMarker({newMarkerNumber: "1", newMarkerName: "MarkerName"});
