I have made some modifications to the original script which may help you, there is no need to hard code in the source/destination doc paths:

Script error in PS 2021

#target photoshop

if (app.documents.length === 0) {

    // open the files via native open dialog

    var openSource = File.openDialog("Please select the source file:");

    open(openSource);

    var openDestination = File.openDialog("Please select the destination file:");

    open(openDestination);

    // doc variables

    var sourceDoc = documents[0];

    var destinationDoc = documents[1];

    // set the active doc

    app.activeDocument = sourceDoc;

    // get the top most path from source file

    sourceDoc.pathItems[0].select();

    // copy the selected path

    var id122 = charIDToTypeID("copy");

    executeAction(id122, undefined, DialogModes.ERROR);

    // set the active doc

    app.activeDocument = destinationDoc;

    // paste the copied path to destination file

    var id126 = charIDToTypeID("past");

    executeAction(id126, undefined, DialogModes.NO);

    // close without any changes

    sourceDoc.close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);

    // save with changes

    destinationDoc.close(SaveOptions.SAVECHANGES);

    // end of script notification

    alert("Done");

}

else {

    alert('No documents should be open when running this script!');

}[/CODE]
