Placing Results in New Draft

Scripting
1

I have a script below that extracts the draft title and date for drafts tagged “published”. The result is placed in the current draft.

How do I get the result placed into a brand new draft? Currently, I have to remember to manually create a new draft before running the action.

// Generate draft list for "published" tag

var blogDrafts = Draft.query("", "inbox", ["published"]);

for (var i=0; i<blogDrafts.length; i++) {

  t = blogDrafts[i].title;

  d = blogDrafts[i].createdAt.toString('yyyy-MM-dd');

  draft.content += t + "\n" + d + "\n\n";
}

try this:

// Generate draft list for "published" tag

var blogDrafts = Draft.query("", "inbox", ["published"]);

var newDraft = new Draft()

let newDraftsContent = ""

for (var i=0; i<blogDrafts.length; i++) {

  t = blogDrafts[i].title;

  d = blogDrafts[i].createdAt.toString('yyyy-MM-dd');

newDraftsContent += t + "\n" + d + "\n\n";

}

newDraft.content = newDraftsContent
editor.load(newDraft)

Thank you @FlohGro, that works!

you used „draft“ in your script, which always is the current active loaded Draft in the editor when you start an action - just to explain why it didn’t work
