Next capture settings to apply styles in Applescript

Alright folks, so here I'm trying with a simple script, in a tethered session, to ready the next capture settings.
I can't figure out a way to get the (next capture settings apply styles) to work!
How to get ( Styles Library > User Styles > "nameofstyle" )

applied to next capture? has anyone tried this yet?

Here is how my code looks like


tell application "Capture One 10"
	
	set popup to (display dialog "Scan Tag" default answer "" buttons {"pr1", "pr2", "pr3"} default button 1)
	set scanResult to text returned of popup
	set P to button returned of popup
	
	tell document 1
		set capture name to scanResult
		set capture counter to 0
		if P = "pr2" then
			set apply styles of next capture settings to "nameofstyle2"
		else if P = "pr3" then
			set apply styles of next capture settings to "nameofstyle3"
		end if
		
		display notification scanResult & " is active now! " with title "Scan Complete"
	end tell
end tell

The next capture name works fine, the capture counter as well. Only the part set apply styles of next capture settings to "nameofstyle2"
Not approaching it the right way.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Okay, I found what I was doing wrong here. Solved.

I had to have a "tell" for next capture settings of document 1, then set the settings in text.
like this:

	tell document 1
		set capture name to scanResult
		set capture counter to 0
	end tell
	if P = "pr2" then
		tell next capture settings of document 1
			set apply styles to {"nameofstyle1"}
		end tell
	else if P = "pr3" then
		tell next capture settings of document 1
			set apply styles to {"nameofstyle2"}
		end tell
		-- display dialog "You Picked pr2 " & scanResult default button 1
	end if

Hope this information is helpful to somebody, as I find this forum a great source of knowledge.

Cheers.
