Good morning

I am creating a workflow that has to create specific levels

the problem, and that if the level already exists should not create another.

So if the layer with the name exists 123456 must not do anything,

if instead the 123456 level does not exist create it.

According to you, and can do this ?.

Actions and scripting

You can use a try catch clause for this:

var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
try {
    aDoc.layers.getByName ("123456");
    alert ("level alredy exists");
    // do nothing
    }
catch (e) {
    alert ("level does not exists");
    // do whatever you want
    }

Have fun
