The following Expression used to work in AE CC2019 and PPro 2019. They now work in AE CC 2020 BUTT not in PPro 2020.
This Expression is applied to a Source Text prop which has some text in it (default custom text) - more on this later.
The issue is with the last array item, text.sourceText. It's there as a feature to allow a user to input custom text, as opposed to choosing from a list, from the same array. In AE CC 2020. all is good. In PPro 2020, the default text doesn't appear - the text entry box is blank and anything I type disappears into an unknown world when I click on the Timeline.
PPro 2020 doesn't accept the default text (since it doesn't display it) but yet provides for a text entry box.
In CC2019, I was using the ole Slider EXP Control for selections but converted them to Drop Menu EXP Controls for CC 2020.
My thoughts are either this is a bug with the Drop Down Menu and the way it handles sourceText or I just need to add thingies to my text.sourceText Expression method. Anyone with an idea for a solution?
---------------------------------
myArray = ["ROTTING BANANAS","FLIGHT CLUB",text.sourceText];
selects = thisComp.layer("Controller").effect("Program Title")(1);
myArray[selects-1]
-------------------------
Have something to add?
