Applescript and Numbers saving/exporting issue after updating to OS Sierra 10.12.2

Fix found! for anyone having this same issue, just add this before the save or export line:

close access (open for accessexportDocumentFile)

Hi SGIII, yes, tried that one already and same thing happened:

The document “Untitled” could not be saved as “Monthly Report - January 2017.numbers”. You don’t have permission.

To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info.

I just cut that part as it is very long, but this one is a good simple example to focus on as reproduces the same issue:

-- Create a new document and save it into the Documents folder

-- generate the default file name

set todaysDate to (current date)

set the nameToUse to ¬

("Monthly Report - " & (month of todaysDate) as string) & ¬

space & (year of todaysDate) as string

--> "Monthly Report - December 2013"

-- make sure the file name is not in use

set the destinationFolderHFSPath to ¬

(path to the documents folder) as string

repeat with i from 0 to 100

if i is 0 then

set incrementText to ""

else

set incrementText to "-" & (i as string)

end if

set thisFileName to nameToUse & incrementText & ".numbers"

set thisFilePath to destinationFolderHFSPath & thisFileName

tell application "Finder"

if not (exists document file thisFilePath) then exit repeat

end tell

end repeat

tell application "Numbers"

activate

-- create a new document and store its reference in a variable

set thisDocument to make new document

-- address the document reference

tell thisDocument

-- remove any default tables

delete every table of every sheet

end tell

-- save the document

save thisDocument in file thisFilePath

end tell

I run the same script you referenced to on OS Sierra 10.12.1 and runs perfectly. So something on 10.12.2 must have been broken.
