Hello everyone!

I've try to create an UXP plugin by javascript on Photoshop v23.5.

But when I get text content of layer with: layer.textItem, I've got "undefined".

Please help!

layer = require("photoshop").app.activeDocument.layers.getByName("text1");
console.log(layer.kind); # => "text"
console.log(layer.textItem); # => undefined

textItem seems to work perfectly fine in Photoshop CC 2019 (the oldest running version I have access to here).

And in Photoshop 2023 naturally, too.

What you are referring to is CEP js scripting. CEP / Extendscript does have support for layer.textItem.
