How can we improve After Effects?

← After Effects

"Dropdown Menu Control Effect" disappearing from the Essential Graphic Window

BUG:

When I edit a property of a "Dropdown Menu Control Effect" (Adding or removing a Name), it disappears from the Essential Graphic Window, I have to drop it back again and re-input the name it was given. (same issue for AE 2021 and AE Beta)

If we can fix this it would be great. With Love

Hi All, 


This issue should be resolved in Beta AE version 22.2 x 29 or after. It will also be included in the next release version of AE. 


Thanks for your patience with this, 

Dacia

    Just wanted to jump in and say I've been having the same issue ever since dropdowns were included in MOGRTs, across 3 different Macs and various versions of AE. The issue still persists with the current release v22.0.1

    It's extremely frustrating as I don't feel confident updating a dropdown list out of fear I'll forget to re-add it to Essential Graphics for the vast number of MOGRTs it's included in.

    Hi Joseph,

    My apologies, I just saw your response, and that means the link expired ☹️.
    I'm sending you an email now so that we can connect more directly.

    We are addressing a number of bugs with the dropdown menu, and I would definitely love to have an in-house repro for this specific issue.

    Thanks for your patience,
    Dacia

    Hello Dacia,

    Thanks for your reply, from my side it is not a one time bug, I produce a lot of EG, and it is a recurrent thing (and it happens every single time), I will attach a sample of the AE file here.
    PS: Don't be surprised by the foreign language inside the project ;-)

    This is the link (valid for 7 days):

    Hope it can be fixed

    have a nice day.

    Joseph Shaybane.

    Hi Joseph,

    Thank you for confirming that I'm not going nuts! I ran into this a few months ago but was never able to reproduce the issue.

    Would you be willing to share your project with me? Sometimes the bug is baked into the project itself and can be super helpful for debugging. I really want to get this one fixed for sure.

    Thanks so much,
    Dacia
