convert indd CC2015 to indd 2020 without resave

Yes, I know that I can open old indd in higher versions 🙂
My problem: I have tons of Indesign 15 files and if I open them with ID20, I have to resave them (and restore the color-marks at the finder) and this will cost me a lot of time. Does anybody know a solution for this problem?
Thanks

I assign this AppleScript the Command-S key command—it saves over a converted file without a prompt:

 

 

tell application id "com.adobe.indesign"
	tell active document
		--get the file's path and name
		try
			set filepath to file path & name as string
		end try
		--if it has been converted save to the same path with no dialog, otherwise save
		if converted is true then
			save to filepath
		else
			save
		end if
	end tell
end tell

Wow! Very cool, even if the problem with the color markings is not solved, it saves me a lot of work.
Thanks a lot!

It could possibly be scripted but there is no other way and quite frankly, I would never do that without checking the files for changes.

I have to change them anyway, they are only templates for new versions.. its just a lot of them and every additional click will drive me crazy.
