24.2.1 Bug: Text essential prop not returning override value

Issue: AE 2024 & 2025 are returning original values of Essential Properties instead of actual values stored in compositions using Essential Properties for text values(not sure what about other type of values) when these values are accessed through scripting. Discussed here https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/scripting-essential-properties-text-values/td-p/15148302

AE 2023 is the last version where this behaves correctly.

How to recreate: 

I have created the simplest possible AEP file for each version in the same manual manner (attached). Creating a single text layer "test 1". Precomposing it. Drag and dropping the source text of the only text layer into the Essential graphic panel. Went to the comp one level up. In the timeline window, clicking the arrow of the layer to get to Essential properties. Choosing the only EP "test 1", rightclick, edit value, edited the value to "test 2".

And then I just run this 1 line:

alert(app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].property("ADBE Layer Overrides").property(1).value);

Expected outcome:

For AE 2023 version this returns an alert window with text "test 2".

Actual result:

But for both AE 2024 and 2025 this returns an alert window with text "test 1". It returns the original value, not the edited value.

Versions of the Apps:

AE 2023 23.0.0. Build 59

AE 2024 24.6.4 Build 3

AE 2025 25.1.0 Build 68

OS: Win 10 64-bit

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new comp and text layer 'some text'
2. Press UU to reveal SourceText, right-click and Add Property To Essential Graphics
3. Press T then drag Opacity into Essential Graphics panel
4. Click Edit Properties in Essential Graphics and check all options
5. Drag Comp 1 onto new comp icon to create Comp 2
6. Use Essential Properties panel to change the text, font size and set Opacity to 30% in Comp 2 only
7. With Comp 2 active, run attached essential test script
 
Result:

"localValue is not: some text source value: some text
I just can't read it. local value is not: some text
local fontSize is not: 135 source fontSize: 135
local opacity is correct: 30 source value: 100"

You can write local text but can't read it. No other text attributes work, even if enabled. Opacity local read/write works as expected, as do other non-text properties.

Expected: You could read and write at least the text properties enabled by Edit Properties.

A scripting ability to set those Edit Properties checkboxes would be good too. I guess we'd also need more stuff like Push/Pull state queries and methods to properly manage existing Essential Graphics projects through scripting.
