Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I was hoping to learn something awesome like this today!

I’m glad you like it.

I love working with both text and shape layers so I find this 'tip' really, really great! You clarified 'numProperties' for me in a big way! Thanks. I'll use that.

I’m really happy you found it useful!

This is so clever!

Ilir, you're the man! That .content(textIndex) technique is brilliant. Thanks for sharing!

@@ilirbeqiri In addition to be useful, it could open up unexpected possibilities with text animation. I can't wait to have a few time to test it :)

This is such an amazing example of the expression selector! It would be really neat to get the text layer to read out the data from the file itself, would save some copy pasting down the line :)

[@ilirbeqiri]

Thank you. You can definitely make the text layer read an importet json, tsv or csv file if you want too. The idea here is to save tons of text layers. I’ve already thought of a couple of good applications for this technique. I’ll be shearing them soon. Stay tuned! 😉
