have to say I have never really understood the attraction or usefullness of primary text frames   They can be usefull when the primary text flow shares multiple Parent Pages:   https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/can-someone-help-demystify-how-primary-text-frames-actually-work/td-p/8930818#9329177 ...

but I HATE having "extra stuff"   I think the assumption is the Primary Text flows through the pages, but if there is only one text frame on the parent spread what does it thread to?   Once you’ve added the text to the facing page Primary text flow you can delete the primary frames from the right pages (which could be scripted).   The odd page primary frames deleted:   ...

This is a case where allPageItems, which is an array vs. pageItems, which is a collection is useful.

Sorry, I read too fast and missed the text varible condition.   This gets the document’s allPageItems array and checks for textVariables—if there’s 1 or more, moves the frame to the Code layer. This should also get textFrames with textVariables on parent pages:   var d = app.documents[0] //all of the document’s page items as an array—includes items inside of groups ect. var api = d.allPageItems; //the layer named "Code" var l = makeLayer(app.activeDocument, "Code") for (var i = 0; i < api.length; i++){ //get all textFrames with textVariableInstances if (api[i].constructor.name == "TextFrame" && api[i].textVariableInstances.length > 0) { //if the frame includes a textVariable, set its Layer to Code api[i].itemLayer = l } }; /** * Makes a new named Layer or return a layer with n name * @ param the document to add the layer * @ param layer name * @ param layer color * @ return the new layer */ function makeLayer(d, n){ if (d.layers.itemByName(n).isValid) { return d.layers.itemByName(n); } else { return d.layers.add({name:n}); } } ...

Can you stop text flowing between pages without breaking the story?   Hi @Thomas_Calvin , If you check the InDesign DOM, a story’s parent is the document not a text frame. A story’s text does have parentStory and parentTextFrames properties, but you would have to split the story into multiple stories in order to stop the text flow and not have overflows.   This script demos the object model hierarchy —the document has 1 story flowing through 5 text frames:   var s = app.documents[0].stories alert("\rThis document contains : " + s.length + " Story\rThe story flows through : " + s[0].texts[0].parentTextFrames.length + " text frames\rIts parent is the: " + s[0].parent.constructor.name)     https://www.indesignjs.de/extendscriptAPI/indesign-latest/#Story.html   ...
