You’d have to ask @stephancasas. I just copied his work. 

Holy crap.  That java script is magic.  You guys are amazing!  Thank you for sharing.  The other script in this thread that I said was working suddenly stopped working and was giving me an error about "group 1" so I came back here and gave this javascript a try.  It looks so complicated compared to the other one but worked perfectly!  Really cool stuff.  Wish I could make stuff like that.

do shell script "open -b com.apple.systempreferences /System/Library/PreferencePanes/Displays.prefPane"

use AppleScript version "2.4"

set iPadName to "iPad Pro"

tell application "System Events"

          repeat until (exists window "Displays" of application process "System Settings")

                    delay 0.1

          end repeat

          tell process "System Settings"

                    tell pop up button 1 of group 1 of group 2 of splitter group 1 of group 1 of window "Displays"

                              click

                              delay 0.1

                              tell (last menu item of menu 1 whose name contains iPadName)

                                        click it

                             end tell

                    end tell

          end tell

end tell

tell application "System Settings" to quit

Awesome. This script works on MacOS Sonoma as well. I did have to add a delay of 1 second before the quit system settings at the end because it was closing the settings panel before the display was activated but other than that it works as is. Amazing!
