Findchangebylist script doesn't recognise paragraph style

[thomasg24808415]

To just list an example here, when I try to run this query, the find/change targets every paragraph style in the document, in spite of me trying to target one particular style.

text {findWhat:"2 boks", appliedParagraphStyle:"ukens_ravarer_tabbed_list"} {changeTo:"2 bokser"} {includeLockedStoriesForFind:false, includeLockedLayersForFind:false, includeHiddenLayers:false, includeMasterPages:false, includeFootnotes:false, wholeWord:true, caseSensitive:false, kanaSensitive:true, widthSensitive:true, ignoreKashidas:true, ignoreDiacritics:false, searchBackwards:false}

Does anyone see whats wrong?

Seems to be working fine for me, see this screengrab

Thank you for trying to help, but it just doesnt work for me. So I guess since its not replicable, its almost impossible to find the cause.

Send across the findchangelist.txt and the indd file. I can test using them and see if I can reproduce the issue

I figured it out. The solution doesnt make sense to me, but it works. 

So what I did was moving the paragraph style in question out of a group. When its not in a group, the script only targets the style its supposed to. Guess you just cant use groups with this script. 

While I got you, do you know if there is there some simple line of code I can modify, so that the script targets all open documents (similiar to "all documents" in find/change) instead of just the one I am already in?

For using the styles inside groups see the following discussion, where I have provided a solution for this case.

For making changes in all the open documents, try this edited version of the script.
