Hello!
Can someone help me with a script to select the Spot Healing Brush Tool with the "darken" mode in Photoshop? I have been able to select this tool as shown below, but I still can't switch it to the "darken" mode. Thank you very much!

var idslct = charIDToTypeID("slct");

var desc8 = new ActionDescriptor();

var idnull = charIDToTypeID("null");

var ref1 = new ActionReference();

var idspotHealingBrushTool = stringIDToTypeID("spotHealingBrushTool");

ref1.putClass(idspotHealingBrushTool);

desc8.putReference(idnull, ref1);

executeAction(idslct, desc8, DialogModes.NO);

Run this code after the code for selecting the desired tool. I can't test its functionality because I'm using an outdated version of PS, on which it doesn't work.

try {
    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));
    r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

    var ret = executeActionGet(r);

    var options = ret.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));           
    var tool = ret.getEnumerationType(stringIDToTypeID("tool"));

    options.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("mode"), stringIDToTypeID("blendMode"), stringIDToTypeID("darken"));

    var r = new ActionReference();
    r.putClass(tool);

    var d = new ActionDescriptor();
    d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
    d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);

    executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);
} 
catch(e) { alert(e); }
