Does this also work with colors and gradients ?

[@fanversepost]

Sorry in what sense?

@@fanversepost He means changing text colour. No-one ever talks about that functionality.
@unmushinthebeegyoshi
I achieved this by making several text layers in the colours I wanted to toggle through. Parent the Source text of all layers below the top text layer to the SOurce text of the top layer (so they update) then paste in the expression if(thisComp.layer("Control Layer").effect("Dropdown Menu Control")("Menu")==1){100} else {0} and change the ==1 number for all text layers. Then you can add this to the Essential graphics Panel. That worked for me. Hope that helps.
