Hello Hadi,
You can try to use this expression in a Text Layer “Source Text” field.
FONT_SIZE = effect(“FONT_SIZE”)(“Slider”);
text.sourceText.style.setFontSize(FONT_SIZE);Attention, you must : Go to File > Project Setting > Expressions, and set the Expression Engine to JavaScript. Otherwise, “text style” expressions won’t work.

Hello Hadi,
it’s a perhaps bit counterintuitive, but you get the style, and then you apply a setText() method to the style. You can’t take a text (which would be converted a string) and add a style to it.
so in your case:
s = thisComp.layer("text A").text.sourceText.style;
s.setText( effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value ); -
Perfect, that exactly what I want
