    I tried this from the Sound Flow presets in track visibility. From what I can tell it only opens. It does not toggle open and closed. Am I missing something.

    if (!sf.ui.proTools.isRunning) throw `Pro Tools is not running`;

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.folderTrackSetOpen();

      Hi @J_R_Chappell,

      This should do the trick :-)

      if (!sf.ui.proTools.isRunning) throw `Pro Tools is not running`;

sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.folderTrackSetOpen({targetValue:"Toggle"});

          Thanks Kitch,

          There is still something wrong.

          Here is my script

          sf.ui.proTools.trackSelectByName({
          names: ["AAF"],
          });

          if (!sf.ui.proTools.isRunning) throw Pro Tools is not running;

          sf.ui.proTools.appActivateMainWindow();

          sf.ui.proTools.selectedTrack.folderTrackSetOpen({targetValue:"Toggle"});

          When I run it is still opening the folder but not closing it and I get this error.

          Folder Open/Close state didn't update (Show AAFs Line 10)

              Could the track size be too small so the folder icon on the track is not visible?

                Yes! That was it!

                    If you really want, it's possible to write something to open/close the folder from the top left popup of the track, when the track so small the icon is hidden.
