Hi ,I have been working with json files inside my AE Project ,i get the data inside the json file this way:

thisComp.layer("Bullets.json")("Datos")("Outline")("Number")("Numero_3").value

That returns into the sourceText Proeprty in my text layer the value ("Bullet 3") with the style in the character windows pressets but i want to drive the source text with expression like this text.sourceText.createStyle().setFontSize(300).setFont("Impact");

But when I preview the the Comp the text just disapear.

Just create a variable for the line which returns actual text.

and the last line apply it inside the setText property of style.

myText = thisComp.layer("Bullets.json")("Datos")("Outline")("Number")("Numero_3").value;

createStyle().setText(myText).setFontSize(300).setFont("Impact");

This should work.
