Does someone competent in AppleScript have a script that will mark all images in my Selects folder which have no Title in the metadata say blue so I can add a title before I process those images?

  This should do it

  BTW you will find Applescript (for CaptureOne) a lot easier if you use Script Debugger and refer to the DIctionary window, and use the "Explore" tab

  use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later
  use scripting additions
  
  
  tell application "Capture One 23" to tell (every variant whose content headline is "")
      set nameList to name
      set positionList to position
      set ExtensionList to extension of parent image
  end tell
  
  set theCount to count of nameList
  
  set theList to {}
  repeat with var_ptr from 1 to theCount
      set thePointer to contents of var_ptr
      set theString to (nameList's item thePointer) & "." & (ExtensionList's item thePointer) & "[" & (positionList's item thePointer) & "]" & return
      copy theString to end of theList
  end repeat
  log theList

  Eric Valk .. would this set a color label for each variant identified? That seems to be the request.

  use AppleScript version "2.4" -- Yosemite (10.10) or later 
  use scripting additions
  
  tell application "Capture One 23" to tell (every variant whose content headline is "") 
      set color tag to 5 -- blue
  end tell

  I think your suggestion is best, except that you don'r need the "end tell" line,  as thid can be written as a one line Tell command.

  tell application "Capture One 23" to tell (every variant whose content headline is "") to set color tag to 5

  The complementary command may also be useful after entering titles, to remove the color tag

  tell application "Capture One 23" to tell (every variant whose content headline is not "") to set color tag to 0
