createSetNameAction not working yet?

Premiere Pro

Hi there,

I´m trying to rename a VideoClipTrackItem via createSetNameAction but it seems like this just doesn´t work (yet?).

I tried to move the clip with createMoveAction which worked fine. But for some reason, createSetNameAction does nothing and I am also not getting the “setStartAction created” log → seems like it gets stuck when creating the renameAction already.

async function writeMetadataToClipname() {
  const metadata = await getMetadata();
  const string = JSON.stringify(metadata);

  const project = await ppro.Project.getActiveProject();
  const seq = await project.getActiveSequence();
  const selection = await seq.getSelection();
  const selectedItems = await selection.getTrackItems();

  for (var i = 0; i < selectedItems.length; i++) {
    const item = selectedItems[i];
    if (Object.prototype.toString.call(item) !== '[object VideoClipTrackItem]') {
      continue;
    }
    const getName = await item.getName();
    const originalName = getName.split("//MD:")[0];
    const newName = originalName + "//MD:" + string;
    const renameAction = await item.createSetNameAction(newName);
    console.log("setStartAction created");
    await executeAction(project, renameAction);
  }
}

Cheers!
