I am writing a Keyboard Maestro macro and need the name of the menu bar item corresponding to
I tried “scripts” and “missing value” which did not work.
thanks in advance for your time and help
There isn’t a menu name available for that. What are you specifically trying to accomplish?

To trigger the archive group menu item. I imagine that the solution is simply to run the underlying script itself.
thank you for your post
Correct. It’s a unique menu item and doesn’t require knowing the menubar item it is found in. You also don’t need Keyboard Maestro to accomplish the task as you can set a shortcut key in the System Settings or using the Custom Shortcuts app.

all clear. thanks very much
You’re welcome.
This is what I would do. I imagine it’s a bit more robust than the other option, but either should work. It’s also what they came up with over in the keyboard maestro forum: Devonthink 'script` menu missing in the `select or show menu items`..? - Questions & Suggestions - Keyboard Maestro Discourse

If you choose the “Select or Show a Menu Item” KM action, it presents a little popup menu where you can navigate the menu hierarchy of an app to fill in the required info for the action. Here’s DEVONthink’s:
So basically none of the Menu Items ones, and the Script Folder menu for DEVONthink also doesn’t show. I’m guessing the general rule is “no dynamically generated menus” (maybe “and/or ones with icon ’titles’”.
