    Setting a sourceText.style overrides value from CSV

    Posted by Liran Tabib on July 4, 2023 at 10:10 am

    Hi to all!

    A weird issue try to use text layer size along with data from an outer CSV source- trying to get both changes bet only one is shown according to the order of this example code:

    text.sourceText.text="custom data from CSV";
    text.sourceText.style.setFont("Custom Font-Regular");

    In this order the font changes but not the text

    text.sourceText.style.setFont("Custom Font-Regular");
    text.sourceText.text="custom data from CSV";

    In this order the text changes but not the font

    Can I have them both in the same expression?

    Thanks!

    Hello Liran,

    the solution is this:

    text.sourceText.style.setFont("Custom Font-Regular").setText("custom text from CSV");
