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.
(This issue is really starting to bug me because many plugins & scripts use the try & catch method.)
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Onno
