Data Merge + Object Styles. Possible? Or workaround with Script?

Hi @Suburban L&G 

as i understand from you, you cant apply the previos script to your project, actually, to apply correctly the object styles , the old script assume that the exact content are inside the text frame and also object style name is exactly as content so if the textframe content is "RED" , also object style name must be "RED" but in the following new version of the script you can Apply the Object Style from the array if the script found any (Index of) content in the same array, this will  much easier if the text frame loaded with many text :

//Apply Object Style to TextFrame Based on Content v2.0
//Created By M.Hasanin

app.doScript(ApplyOSTextFrames, ScriptLanguage.JAVASCRIPT, undefined, UndoModes.ENTIRE_SCRIPT, "Apply Object Style Based on Content");

function ApplyOSTextFrames() {
  var myDoc = app.documents[0];
  var myFrames = myDoc.textFrames.everyItem().getElements();

  for (var n = 0; n < myFrames.length; n++) {
    var frameContent = myFrames[n].contents.toLowerCase(); // Convert the content to lowercase for case-insensitive matching

    // Define the color keywords and their corresponding object style names
    var colorStyles = {
      "red": "RED",
      "blue": "Blue",
      "green": "GREEN"
      // Add more color keywords and object style names as needed
    };

    // Iterate through the color keywords and check if the frame content contains any of them
    for (var colorKeyword in colorStyles) {
      if (frameContent.indexOf(colorKeyword) !== -1) {
        var objectStyleName = colorStyles[colorKeyword];

        // Check if the object style exists in the document
        if (myDoc.objectStyles.itemByName(objectStyleName).isValid) {
          myFrames[n].applyObjectStyle(myDoc.objectStyles.itemByName(objectStyleName));
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

so you have to add any keywords that are might to be contained in the text frames like (red, blue, green) as example then you can deterimine the Object Style Name, so as example if the text frame contains the statement "in the red" it will apply RED object style to the textframe and so on, so i think this version might solve your problem.

Is there a way to remove the "color-words" from the boxes after the object style has been applied?
