Upgrade StorageMore Change Item JavaScript Examples for non-developers, please!
I have very little (zero?) programming knowledge, but have been able to create a few invaluable JavaScripts based on these examples:

Could any benevolent coder post a few more examples? I've enrolled in online JavaScript courses, but I'm devoting hours to a task that I'm sure someone competent could do in minutes... (Using Zotero7, so Zutilo doesn't seem to be a solution)
I'm currently stumped on how to batch add the same group of *multiple* creators (authors) to a selected set of items.

//set Creator of selected to new values
const zoteroPane = Zotero.getActiveZoteroPane();
const selected = zoteroPane.getSelectedItems();
for (const item of selected) {
item.setCreators(
[
{
firstName: "Alice",
lastName: "Buchanan",
creatorType: "author"
},
{
firstName: "Charles",
lastName: "Dickens",
creatorType: "author"
}
])
await item.save();
}
;
