Linking Source Text with an expression should also respect the "paragraphness" of the text

Advocate ,

Consider this:

I have 3 text layers, two of which are linked to the "master" layer (via a simple "thisComp.layer("master").text.sourceText" expression).

I then change the text on the master layer to be Paragraph Text and tweak the dimensions of  the bounding box. The other text layers do not update to reflect this. I suggest they should do.

Or is there a way, using text attributes in an expression, to copy the paragraph layout?

Unless something has changed in the latest builds of After Effects, the paragraph text box size or position in the frame is not supported yet. This is a feature request.
