Convert All Swatches to CMYK Process Global

Question

Hi,I have this working script with me which works well in InDesign. It helps me to (a) Add all Unnamed colors, (b) remove all unused swatches, and (c) convert all colours to CMYK Process. I need a similar code for Illustrator with an additional check point. i.e. I want to convert all colours to CMYK Process Global swatch.#target indesign
app.menuActions.item("$ID/Add All Unnamed Colors").invoke();
var myIndesignDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myUnusedSwatches = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches;

for (var s = myUnusedSwatches.length - 1; s >= 0; s--) {
  var mySwatch = myIndesignDoc.unusedSwatches[s];
  var name = mySwatch.name;
  if (name != "") {
    mySwatch.remove();
  }
}
app.activeDocument.colors.everyItem().properties = { space: ColorSpace.CMYK, model: ColorModel.PROCESS }; Can anyone help, please.

Hi,You can try the solution from the following linkhttps://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/illustrator-script-that-will-convert-all-spot-colors-to-process-cmyk/m-p/14078778#M380136 and to remove the unused swatches, you can use the following scriptfunction removeUnusedSwatches() {    actionString = [        '/version 3',        '/name [ 8',        '756e757365647377',        ']',        '/isOpen 1',        '/actionCount 1',        '/action-1 {',        '/name [ 8',        '737774636864656c',        ']',        '/keyIndex 0',        '/colorIndex 0',        '/isOpen 0',        '/eventCount 2',        '/event-1 {',        '/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0',        '/internalName (ai_plugin_swatches)',        '/localizedName [ 8',        '5377617463686573',        ']',        '/isOpen 0',        '/isOn 1',        '/hasDialog 0',        '/parameterCount 1',        '/parameter-1 {',        '/key 1835363957',        '/showInPalette 4294967295',        '/type (enumerated)',        '/name [ 17',        '    53656c65637420416c6c20556e75736564',        ']',        '/value 11',        '}',        '}',        '/event-2 {',        '/useRulersIn1stQuadrant 0',        '/internalName (ai_plugin_swatches)',        '/localizedName [ 8',        '5377617463686573',        ']',        '/isOpen 0',        '/isOn 1',        '/hasDialog 1',        '/showDialog 0',        '/parameterCount 1',        '/parameter-1 {',        '/key 1835363957',        '/showInPalette 4294967295',        '/type (enumerated)',        '/name [ 13',        '    44656c65746520537761746368',        ']',        '/value 3',        '}',        '}',        '}'    ].join('
')    var f = new File(Folder.desktop + "/unusedsw.aia");    if (f.exists) {        f.remove();    }    f.open('w')    f.write(actionString)    f.close()    app.loadAction(f)    app.doScript('swtchdel', 'unusedsw')    app.unloadAction('unusedsw', '');    f.remove();}removeUnusedSwatches();
