    I did an initial search for this, even though it seems really cursory, so apologies if I missed this. Maybe I’m not understanding the parameter. Basically, I’m just wanting to have a text layer which shows the layer ID of another layer. Or the name and layer ID of that other layer. I know this would be in the Source Text expression area for the text itself, but can’t seem to find a way to display this info. Thanks!

    >show the layer ID of another layer

    Do you mean the layer index? Something like this maybe:

    L = thisComp.layer(“other layer”);
    L.index + “. ” + L.name
