Can't set Approved status of media from Velocity script

Only a user with permission to moderate in the gallery can approve a post.  So yes an automation running under the service account would likely work for you.

Thanks

Neither of the following commands seems to work from a Velocity script or from a manual automation running under the service account. This applies to a moderated gallery.

#set($mediaResponse = $core_v2_media.Update($galleryId, $mediaId, "%{ IsApproved = true }"))

and

#set($mediaResponse = $core_v2_media.Update($galleryId, $mediaId, "%{ IsApproved = 'true' }"))

Did you verify was user is actually running?  Did you check the errors collection on the response?

What user?

I got the following error message in Chrome developer tools:

Cannot read property 'Errors' of undefined.

The current accessing user, but given the response is undefined that means something in your actual call is wrong or not set

Here's the code:

Velocity script (uploadedit.vm):

	#if ($mediaId && $mediaId > 0)
		#set($media = $core_v2_media.Update($galleryId, $mediaId, $options))
        $core_v2_automation.Execute($core_v2_utility.ParseGuid('cc32ab16-bed4-4db0-bcc8-30595f540255'), "%{ GalleryId = '$galleryId', MediaId = '$mediaId' }")
	#else

Manual automation:

#set($galleryId = $core_v2_utility.ParseInt($context_v2_automationTrigger.Arguments.Parameters.Value('GalleryId')))
#set($mediaId = $core_v2_utility.ParseInt($context_v2_automationTrigger.Arguments.Parameters.Value('MediaId')))
#set($mediaResponse = $core_v2_media.Update($galleryId, $mediaId, "%{ IsApproved = 'true' }"))

You need to check for null values, I assume this is not the full script or your options and gallery are null.  You are going to have to troubleshoot the script to see where the issue may be

After further investigation and looking in the database, I noticed that "IsApproved" is already true for all media awaiting moderation. The field that I should be concerned about is "IsHidden" which is true only for media awaiting moderation. So, I should be setting "IsHidden" to false. But I can't find a way to set "IsHidden" to false. The "Media" object has no settable "IsHidden" property.

I am trying to prevent users from having every update to media being moderated in addition to the initial moderation.

This is readonly on purpose so you cannot alter it.  And to be honest, not having updates moderated would defeat the purpose, a user would simply be able to upload an acceptable item, then update it to inappropriate content immediately after approval.

Okay, thanks.
