Can we control the new Essential Properties Faux styles using ExtendedScript?

I'm trying to bulk change Essential Properties values, can I change the Faux styles using Extended script?

Hi,

Thanks for the question. As I understand it, you can use expressions workflows with Faux Styles, but that isn't supported directly through ExtendScript alone. Hopefully, a community or team member can contribute more to this conversation. I appreciate the question. 

Thanks,

Kevin

Thanks Kevin,
To clarify, I have around 1500 EP to update, I'm trying to use scripting to read from a set of data (csv, json, or even a set of arrays) then duplicate the EP comp and replace its values, change its inPoint on the timeline etc....
I managed to change the text using

.setValue(newText1)
and to replace the Icon
.setAlternateSource(newMediaItem)
But I can't find a way to enable/disable the Essential Properties "Faux Bold"
