Strangely, I can use setText() but the other Text Styling Properties for setFontSize, setLeading and setTracking do nothing in the Nested/Essential Property Comp.
Hi Theresa, thanks for the reply. While prepping an AEP for you, I dug in a little deeper.
It's a user-error on my part. 😞
In the earlier Nesting Procedure, in the Parent Comp, I had the FontSize Property in the text.sourceText Expression linked to another property. 😄
So, everything works as expected.

Hi @RKahlenberg,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Would you mind sending over a project so I can diagnose what's going wrong? Also are you seeing this on Windows or Mac?
Thanks!
Theresa

Ooops! It's not working.
It's the issue where changing the text.sourceText of a Text Layer Essential Property disables changing Text Styling.
If I do not edit text.sourceText for the Text Layer Essential Property then changing fontStyling works.
I believe this is a known issue. Is there a workaround or an expected fix to this?
