Hi, what does mean this:

> Changes cannot be triggered by notifications. You will need to defer your response.

Related to this script:

self.song().tracks[self.get_list_item("list1", 1)].color_index = self.get_list_item("list1", 0)

Here’s a simplified script. Help!

This 2021 answer from the Remotify admin might help you out.

Based on that answer, here’s what might be a work-around:
– Use the Reaction with the “Visible Tracks has changed” Listener to save an index to a Modifier.
– Create a second Reaction that Listens to that Modifier being updated; which then changes the Track Color to the index stored in that Modifier.

OR

Maybe you could make a separate thread, where you let the code wait for half a second before running the code that changes the color. That way the original Reaction will have completed already while the thread is waiting (or that’s what I’m guessing, not entirely sure I’m getting the logistics of threading right).

EDIT: JohnC also posted that work-around in a previous post

Ableton blocks UI to UI methods.
So in your case, the listener ‘songs visible tracks has changed’ is a UI based event and your action is setting the color index of the track. Ableton is blocking this with the ‘defer’ message.
You would need to change the listener to an even coming from the midi controller or explore what Glen mentioned above.

There’s also this user submitted solution to get around it: https://community.remotify.io/questions/question/solved-defer-your-response-workarounds/

First solution with modifier doesn’t work here. Could you confirm?

Don’t you have it if you try the script?
Does it work for you?
