Set Text Variables with JSON
Document templates with multiple text variables can be quickly filled with data using JSON objects.
var settings = {title: 'Title',
subtitle: 'Your Subtitle Here'};
app.activeDocument.textVariables.item("Title").variableOptions.contents = settings.title;
app.activeDocument.textVariables.item("Subtitle").variableOptions.contents = settings.subtitle;
