Migrate the “A Paragraph Style” Grep of one document to the “B Paragraph Style” of another document.

I thought I was bored.
Suddenly I realized that someone really did write a script like this 12 years ago, but it's too old to be effective.

In fact, some complex settings like paragraph lines, paragraph background, and paragraph borders must be too good to be true if they can be migrated as well.

Go to the paragraph style panel menu in the target document. 

Import paragraph style, select the wanted style.

If it has the same name, replace it, if not, select after import the old style, delete the old one and replace in the upcoming dialogue with the new style

Sometimes that's not a good idea.
Waiting for Adobe.

where do you see problems with my solution?

What do you expect from Adobe?
