Automation Blocks - set media path results in pending media until project is closed and reopened

Hello everyone,

I am using PP 25.5 and AB 1.1.012.

When I use "set media path of project item (X) to (create text with (newpath) (filename))" and I run this on my entire project the media is now in a "media pending" state until I close the project and reopen it.

Is there another step I should do within my AB script to force or trigger the new path that got fed into the files?

I think this is a bug which Adobe is tracking as DVAPR-4258486

I recommend that you contact Adobe support to check if they know any workarounds.
You could try to exeute refreshMedia of the project item in an execute code block. after changing the media path.

Thanks for your prompt reply @Mathias Moehl .

Could you please send me an example how I would do this refresh media?

The attached script refreshes the media for each selected project item.
