I can confirm that this bug still exists. I'm running MacOS 15.2 ID 20.0.1.
My test code:
```
//@targetengine "mySession"
var myEventListener = app.eventListeners.item("mAfSave");
if (myEventListener.isValid)
myEventListener.remove();myEventListener = app.addEventListener("afterSave", testQRCodeCrash);
// myEventListener = app.addEventListener("afterOpen", testQRCodeCrash);
myEventListener.name = "mAfSave";function testQRCodeCrash() {
alert('Test started');
if (!app.documents.length) return;
app.scriptPreferences.measurementUnit = MeasurementUnits.POINTS;
// any of these cause Indesign to crash:
app.activeDocument.rectangles.add({ geometricBounds: [0, 0, 40, 40] }).createPlainTextQRCode('test');
// app.activeDocument.rectangles.add({ geometricBounds: [0, 0, 100, 100] }).createTextMsgQRCode('1234567890', 'test');
// app.activeDocument.rectangles.add({ geometricBounds: [0, 0, 100, 100] }).createEmailQRCode('foo@bar.com', 'test', 'test');
// app.activeDocument.rectangles.add({ geometricBounds: [0, 0, 100, 100] }).createHyperlinkQRCode('https://foo-bar.com/test');alert('Test completed');
};
```

This seems like a good idea to me. I guess it could be similar to the Object Style "Size and Position" sizing feature, off by default, but available if you want it.

I found the same issue just now. The problem occurs in the normal Find Text and Find Grep UI also.
I think it is because the UI has no way to distinguish between changeTo === "" and changeTo === undefined.
So my guess is Adobe decided to just disable changeTo in cases where you are changing other properties, eg. Paragraph Style. It's a shame that it is also disabled in the scripting API, where we can explicitly set changeTo to undefined if we want it ignored.
I would like this fixed too. The UI should have an "Ignore" option for changeTo similar to the way styles' properties can sometimes be set to "ignore".
Both the attached screenshots, showing a search for a number with a tab should remove the number and apply the new paragraph style, but both fail because the changeTo is ignored.

We had a [discussion about this on the forum](https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/grep-for-endnote-reference-chains/m-p/14821829) which adds a few examples of the problem.

By the way, I first [asked this question on the forum](https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/scripting-how-can-i-position-a-page-item-in-quot-layoutwindow-quot-coordinates/m-p/14473987).

We had [a discussion related to this topic](https://community.adobe.com/t5/indesign-discussions/indesign-losing-style-settings-when-pasting-text-to-new-document-text-with-unidentified-overrides/m-p/14333610).
I suspect the best solution might be for Indesign to ensure the [No paragraph style] is a constant across all instances of Indesign on all systems, and that [Basic Paragraph Style] should be the “default” style if users want such a thing. That way serious uses can safely base their styles on [No paragraph style] with causing the problem mentioned in the discussion I link to.
In other words I think the root of this problem may be that Editing the font/style *with no document open* currently seems to edit [No paragraph style], but it should edit [Basic Paragraph Style]. I’m not 100% sure I’ve understood the under-the-hood situation, but that is my guess.
Yes Paul, that would definitely be the way to go, especially as it would then make it easy for Adobe to add more properties and methods, such as error-correction level and various visual options such as those offered by many other QR Code generators.
