🚀 go-pugleaf

According to the Scripting Guide and the AppleScript dictionary, I should be able to do this:

tell application "InDesign CS"
	tell document 1
		set myNstyle to nested style 1 of paragraph style "Body"
		set applied character style of myNstyle to "Green"
	end tell
end tell

unless I'm misunderstanding the meaning of "Can also accept: string."

But while it doesn't give an error, it also doesn't work.

In JavaScript, where the same possibility is mentioned, the similar construction also fails, but at least it gives an error:

myDoc = app.documents[0];
myPstyles = myDoc.paragraphStyles;
myNstyles = myPstyles.item("Body").nestedStyles;
myNstyle = myNstyles[0];
//myNstyle.appliedCharacterStyle = myDoc.characterStyles.item("Green");
with (myDoc) {
myNstyle.appliedCharacterStyle = "Green";
}

So, am I just being stupid? Or is this not really a possibility? I commented out that line that actually does do the job while I was researching how to use just a string for this parameter.
