It would be interesting to be able to select an event and have a button to duplicate that event for a track above.
@jetdv In this case, if an event has been grouped with another event or even an audio event. It should only duplicate the selected event and not the events grouped with it. If I select both the video event and the audio event below it then yes both will be duplicated right above.
Ok, test this one...

Actually, it behaves exactly as expected. In your first video, you showed it adding a track above the selected event and then the event was copied to that track. And you had multiple tracks above that track that the new track was below. That's exactly what this one is doing. If it sees a selected event, it adds a track above that track and then copies the event to that track. If there are multiple selected events on the same track, it will create multiple new tracks. If you have selected events on multiple tracks, in every case, there will be a new track added above the selected event and the event will be copied to that new track.
In fact, this behavior makes more sense than trying to combine all new tracks into a similar location. In your first example, the script behaves exactly as demonstrated. In your second example, you seem to want the new tracks added at the top so, no, the script does not do that.
@jetdv I understand, it really implies that in the second video I want something different from the first video. but no, only in the first video I showed an example with only one media in a track, and in the second video I showed it with two media in 2 tracks, but the behavior I want is the same as in the first video. I don't want the tracks to go to the top, in the second video it can be confused with that, because I forgot to put more tracks at the top.
In this video I show an example of why I would like it to be like this. For example, I can duplicate 1 composite element and move them around if I want. PS.: I don't want the script to group the track, I grouped it just to show it in this example.
I would like the behavior to be the same as when we duplicate a track, but only with the event I selected. The example below is perfect.
I don't know if this is possible, if not it's ok. Thanks for your effort, I really appreciate it.
Let's see if I'm understanding correctly. For a second version, you want all new tracks added above the first selected event but descending downward as they are created?
@m3lquixd How about this one?

It appears that answer is no.
It seems that the track colour is a read-only property.

@ronfromkwonV2 Actually, it's more complicated than that:
@jetdv Love this thanks, I quite often duplicate events 👍
It works perfectly if the events are on separate tracks , I've tried it with 2, 3, 4, events 👍
But if the events are on the same track it crashes VP
I can live with this as I normally just duplicate a single event, so I'm just sharing 👍
@Former user, if you have multiple events on the same track, it's getting into an endless loop because of the new tracks being added and the new events were also selected so with two events selected, it's duplicating that second event over and over and over again. Try this version:

For me it was good, @Former user can use the other one if the result is better for him.
