Adobe indesign: Sublayers not showing in layer panel

Question

Hello,I have a problem modifying sublayers inside a locked layer;If I expand the layer, I can't see any objects inside it.The objects appear only if I select the layer shift+ctrl+click on it;This is not letting the SDK return those items when I run Spread.GetItemsOnPage()Any idea whats going on here?

Is it possible to unlock all layers in all masterspreads in JS?

Layers are not related to spreads or masterspread in such a way that they are sepecific to them. Layers are document wide, so if you want to unlock all the layers in the document the following code shall work

app.documents[0].layers.everyItem().locked = false

So you mean to say that the locked layer if expanded shows blank under it and when you unlock it then you start seeing the pageitems? Can you post screenshots? This is not normal behaviour, normally you should see the pageitems on expanding the layer even if the layer is locked. Does this happen with every document you create?

Also can you post your code snippet, describing what you are trying to do and what errors does the code give you. If possible send a demo document to test the code with
