Reset Scale transformations on multiple objects (Script)

Question

I want to be able to reset scaling values on objects in InDesign, without changing their size. I found the following script snippet online, that does the job:

app.selection[0].redefineScaling();

But it only works on one object at the the time, even if I select multiple ones. Is there a way to make it work on multiple objects? Keep in mind that I know next to nothing about scripting 😅

Hi ​@Sulaco, This would redefine the scaling of all the document’s graphics’ container frames://an array of all the document’s graphicsvar api = app.activeDocument.allGraphicsfor (var i = 0; i < api.length; i++){    //api[i].parent is the graphic’s container frame    //reset the width and height to 100%     api[i].parent.redefineScaling([1.0, 1.0])};
