Here’s a basic script to move selected records

```auto
tell application id "DNtp"
	set selectedNotes to get selection
	repeat with theNote in selectedNotes
		set theFilingGroup to get record at "/🗂Filing" in database "Devonthink"
		--
		-- Additional code to refine value for theFilingGroup
		--
		move record theNote to theFilingGroup
	end repeat
end tell

```

My script has additional code to set filename, tags …  
I added the script as a toolbar icon
