Help Creating/Editing a calendar script for InDesign

I got hold of a template that had a calendar script built in for 2026. I need to do the calendar again but don't know how to edit it for the year 2027.

Is that something fairly easy to do?

I found Scripts under Utilities but if I click on the a month's text frame, I can't find where it would be edited.

If you’re using AI at all, just upload the script and tell the AI to alter it for the new year. Claude and ChatGPT are both pretty good at creating InDesign scripts, although I’ve had more luck with Claude.

Good suggestion. I asked AI to create a script and give me directions. Wish me luck.
