Hi

I have a text box linked to another text box using "Place and Link" feature in Indesign.

 

Everytime I update on the original textframe "ISOL" in my case, I have to click "Update All Links" from the links panel. For one or two frames its ok but I have lots of boxes. 

Is there a oneliner script to update all the links. I will then give a shortcut to that script and it will save me lot of time.

Screeenshot attached.

Regards

    I think something like this - but I'm not JS guy:

     

    app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().update();
