Show Macro Group %variable% for One Action?

[alain]

@peternlewis

there is no UUIDForMacroName token since there might be multiple UUIDs for a given name, there would be no way to know which one.

Peter I agree (of course) with you when you are pointing the non necessary uniqueness of a given macro or a group in KM.

But in such rare and perhaps pathological situations (in this context a such use of naming) an hypothetical token %MacroUUIDForName%Name% can just take the UUID of the first object it founds... In the same way, if a name don't exist it will return ""... and the KM user using this token will take the appropriate behavior as usual.

If I even more advocate for such a token, please consider how an already existing similar feature (action about a named KM object) is working nicely through KM AppleScript here.

@peternlewis

you can use the XML for the action, insert the group name into the XML template, and then use do script to execute it.

Every thing is OK (works) apart the mapping KM group name => UID
