JavaScript - Select children bookmarks if I selected parent

[Loki@99]

Hi,

Is there a JavaScript which can select children bookmarks if I selected parent ?

My main purpose is to be able to bulk rename children (add prefix or suffix) with JavaScript after that action.

Thank you,

Hello Loki@99,

What JS can do with bookmarks is quite limited and those are the only 4 methods available:

So there is no way really for you to achieve such a selection.

Can you please share with me the use case where you would need such a selection done via JS?

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

Can you please share with me the use case where you would need such a selection done via JS?

My user scenario is that I have this file for e.g

File_sample.pdf

All Level 1 bookmarks are the answers of the clinical cases.

What I would like to do with JS is
1. Select children bookmarks after selecting parent bookmark with a drag to select action. It's a lot more than 4 clinical cases.
2. Bulk add "Answers - " as prefix to all selected bookmarks from step 1 i.e the children

Hello Loki@99,

Thanks for clarifying, however I am afraid there is no automated way I can think of that would achieve the desired selection, sorry!

Kind regards,
Stefan
