Yeah, the other thing that you must do to make the script work is adjust the “amount” to 1.0,0,0%

Thanks again for all your advice! Its working great!

I have lots of text layers that are dynamically populated from a spreadsheet. And I have text layers in another comp, and their text properties are hooked up via expressions to the spreadsheet text. So I essentially see the output of the spreadsheet text in another comp. The problem I run into is if I need to adjust a character via the…
