No way of controllong masks using numerical values

I come from older versions of Hitfilm Express, I started using After Effects recently and just realized this software doesn't have a way of changing scale, position, rotation of masks using numerical values. Please add this feature, I used to always use the parameters and it's so much more precise to use! I don't understand why we should be limited to moving and scaling the mask by hand.

Check AEscripts.com. There's a million mask transform scripts and panels.

You can use shape objects (layers) and use them as masks. Would that solve the limitation issue?
