Effect name doesn't change in expressions when using a try catch method

[nos3f1]

Hi After Effects team,

I recently got into the world of expressions, and I noticed something that feels like a bug, so I'm reporting it here 🙂

When you try to rename an effect name that's linked inside an expression, using a try catch method. It unlinks the effect from the expression, while a normal expression without try & catch does rename it properly.

I've attached a video showing the issue, and the project file, hope that helps explain it.

Thanks in advance!

Kind regards,

Onno
