automatic renumber of expression on duplicate?
This is a basic one, but I’m not sure of an answer.
When you duplicate several layers at once with Ctrl+D, or just copying and pasting them, the expression stays the same, but the layer name changes.
So I might have something basic like: thisComp.layer(“roll 2”).transform.position
If I duplicate that along with the layer “roll 2” the layer will now be called “roll 3” but the expression stays as “roll 2” I can see how many times this would be desired.
Is there an alternate way of duplicating that would automatically change those?

thisComp.layer(thisLayer, +1).transform.position
The +1 means ‘one layer below’
thisComp.layer(thisLayer, +1).transform.position -
Oh, that totally works. I just have to keep an eye on accidentally reordering things. I manually did that on the previous project, but I’ll have to do something similar on my current one, so I can use that for sure.
Thanks Annebelle
