Extendscript, how to get string labels/values and indexes in Dropdown?

[Nicholas Ho]

Hey,

So the property I’m talking about is “Based On”, commonly seen in the Text Animators. The matchName is “ADBE Text Range Type2” and when calling .isDropdownEffect() it returns false.

I can access:
prop.minValue = 1

prop.maxValue = 4

which corresponds to “Characters”, “Characters Excluding Spaces”, “Words”, and “Lines”, but I don’t think it’s possible to retrieve these same labels using code.

Anyone know the answer here?

I don’t think you can retrieve the labels. You’ll probably just have to consider them enumerated values.
