I saw that since cc 2017, "boxTextPos" for text box became writable.

I'm trying to write a new value, but I can't write negative value (for example 0,-25).

Is there any way to write negative values?

A fix for this went into ae-beta/24.2.0/19

It will appear in the full release 24.2 when that ships.

Here is the code.

var textProp = app.project.activeItem.layer(1).property("Text").property("Source Text");
var textDocument = textProp.value;

textDocument.boxTextPos = [-100,300];
textProp.setValue(textDocument);

Here is the code.
