            var type = objs[i].typename;
            if (type == "SymbolItem") {
                objs[i].breakLink();

Hi @BRODZELi, when I run your code it doesn't deselect the "broken symbols"—they stay selected. I'm using AI 25.3.1.

Hi,

I  usually create a new layer before breaking the link. The artwork can be found as the first groupItem in that layer
