      I have an Applescript for Indesign CC and every time it runs, the missing font alert comes up and it stops the script. I get this message:

      Adobe InDesign CC 2019 got an error: Cannot handle the request because a modal dialog or alert is active.

      This didn’t happen with older versions of InDesign.

      Is there any way for the script to turn off the alert or ignore it?

      You need the AppleScript equivalent of this JavaScript line:

      app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.NEVER_INTERACT;

      Afterwards you have to re-enable alerts (which includes all InDesign’s panels and dialogs):

      app.scriptPreferences.userInteractionLevel = UserInteractionLevels.INTERACT_WITH_ALL;

      P.
