Script Not Working to Add Table of Contents Style from Paragraph Style Group

Hi,

The blwo script is not working to add Table of contents style. Can advise to me.

 

var doc = app.activeDocument;
var pGroups=doc.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Group_Style");
var tocStyle = doc.tocStyles.add({
name: "TOC"
});
var tocEntry = tocStyle.tocStyleEntries.add(pGroups.paragraphStyles[0]);

Not entirely sure - I'll throw my hat at it - usually putting through some alerts helps me narrow down where I'm going wrong

 

var doc = app.activeDocument;

// Check if the paragraph style group exists and is valid
var pGroups = doc.paragraphStyleGroups.itemByName("Group_Style");

if (pGroups.isValid) {
    var tocStyle;
    
    // Check if the TOC style already exists, to avoid duplication
    try {
        tocStyle = doc.tocStyles.itemByName("TOC");
        if (!tocStyle.isValid) {
            throw new Error("TOC style does not exist.");
        }
    } catch (e) {
        tocStyle = doc.tocStyles.add({
            name: "TOC"
        });
    }

    // Ensure that there is at least one paragraph style in the group
    if (pGroups.paragraphStyles.length > 0) {
        // Add a TOC entry if the paragraph style is valid
        var paragraphStyle = pGroups.paragraphStyles[0];
        if (paragraphStyle.isValid) {
            tocStyle.tocStyleEntries.add(paragraphStyle);
            alert("TOC style added successfully with paragraph style: " + paragraphStyle.name);
        } else {
            alert("Invalid paragraph style.");
        }
    } else {
        alert("No paragraph styles found in the group.");
    }
} else {
    alert("Paragraph style group 'Group_Style' does not exist.");
}
