Hello! I tried to run this script that I found in this thread: https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign/script-to-find-change-stroke-in-tables/td-p/4315033?page=1
I'm trying to change the border colour, but it keeps returning the error as shown below.
I have no idea what's going on. Could someone please be kind enough to have a look at the script?
Thank you so much

In this script only Index of table and index of cells were missing, try this code:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
myDialog = app.dialogs.add ({name:"Recolor Tables",canCancel:true});
swatchlist = app.activeDocument.swatches.everyItem().name;
with (myDialog){
with (dialogColumns.add()){
with (borderPanels.add()){
staticTexts.add ({staticLabel:"Find"});
swf = dropdowns.add ({stringList:swatchlist, selectedIndex:0});
