How to create new "None" character paragraph table cell and object styles with scripts?

Question

There are too many different properties settings.I want to get a controlled, clean style with no overrides.Is there an easy way to do it in three or two lines? Thank you very  much.

Text objects also has the clearOverrides() method—this would clear the overrides from selected text

//some selected text—Text, Paragraohs, Characters etc.
var sel = app.activeDocument.selection[0];
//could also be OverrideType.CHARACTER_ONLY or OverrideType.PARAGRAPH_ONLY
sel.clearOverrides(OverrideType.ALL)

Hi @dublove , The function I’ve posted for you in the past uses the default on creation—based on [No Paragraoh Style]—then you set the properties you want to change in the propertie = {} line:

//create a default paragraph style
var pStyle = makeParaStyle(app.activeDocument, "MyStyle")
//changed properties from the default
pStyle.properties = {fillColor:"Black", fillTint:50}


/**
* Makes a new named ParagraphStyle 
* @ param the document to add the style to 
* @ param style name 
* @ return the new paragraph style 
*/

function makeParaStyle(d, n){
if (d.paragraphStyles.itemByName(n).isValid) {
return d.paragraphStyles.itemByName(n);
 } else {
return d.paragraphStyles.add({name:n});
 }
}
