24.2.1 Bug: Text essential prop not returning override value

Hey @JohnColombo17100380 - any updates on this? It seems to be issue in the latest beta as well.

Hey John,

It only happens on the .value attribute when scripting - UI in After Effects seems to be getting the correct value in the Essential Properties dropdown, as well as in the Properties panel.

I have tested 23 versions (all return correct value), but it seems the bug only started happening on 24.2.X - and only on text layers.

Hi @Tom Balev,

Thank you for reporting this issue. Does the bug occur only when reading the .value attribute of the Essential Property via scripting, or does it also occur when overriding the value in the UI of After Effects?

Thank you for any further information you can provide,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
