text.sourceText with Dropdown menu text

Question

I'm trying to make an animatic template and I would like the text that is in the dropdown menu to be placed over the text that is on the screen. Additionally, I would like that if I change the text in the dropdown menu that the text on the screen is updated. I search everywhere and try differents thing but I always end up at the same place.

Can someone help please ?

the best script that I could find for my situation is from ukramedia from this video

DropMenu = comp("PostProd_Template").layer("Change Texte").effect("TextSelector")("Menu").value;
TextNames = ["Texte 1","Texte 2","Texte 3", "Texte 4","Texte 5","Texte 6"]
TextNames[DropMenu -1 ];

Thank you

Hello, you can use this tric:- create your text layer- open Essential Graphics panel and add your sourceText property- add a slider control /* optional => add it to essential graphic too- add this expression to the sourceText property:text.sourceText.split('\r')[effect("DROPDOWN INDEX")("Slider")] Now you can edit your text values in essential graphics panel and change the dropdown index using the slider.
