Indesign Script - Keep reference of nested pageItem in group while duplicating it

I am on InDesign 2023. VisualStudioCode.

I have a group of nested textFrames. I track the textFrames by their id. Now i need to duplicate these groups but still keep track of the textFrame duplicates.

Example: Let's say i have a group of pageItems (can be deeply nested and/or anchored):

  • Rectangle with id 1
  • TextFrame with id 2
  • TextFrame with id 3
  • (and many more)

I need to insert text in TextFrame with id 2. No problem by getting it by id.

Now i need to duplicate the wrapping group to a new location. No Problem too. On duplicating, the id of the textFrame inside the group changes and i obviously loose my reference of it.

So what i do is to use the label of the textFrame to store the id as string and recursively look for that in the duplicated group. This way i can identify the duplicated textFrame and continue using it, but is very slow for large groups and tons of duplicates.

So i was wondering if there's a more efficient way of accomplishing this task to keep a reference of a nested page Item in a group while duplicating it.

Any help appreciated.

Prop `className` did not match in next js app

I have written a sample code ( Github Link here ). this is a simple next js app, but giving me error when I refresh the page. This seems to be the common problem and I tried the fix provided in the internet but does not seem to fix my issue. The error is Warning: Prop className did not match. Server: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-1" Client: "MuiBox-root MuiBox-root-2". Did changes for _document.js, modified _app.js as mentioned in official website and solutions in stackoverflow. but nothing seems to work. Could someone take a look and help me whats wrong with the code? Via Active questions tagged javascript - Stack Overflow https://ift.tt/2FdjaAW
