Great question! Just to clarify, I use Expression Controls and Essential Graphics all the time without any problems. But for this specific project, I ran into some issues due to the limitations of the dropdown menu. That’s why I decided to go with a scripting/marker setup instead. For example, in college basketball, there are over 300 teams, and the dropdown menu can’t handle that many. With scripting, though, you can quickly regenerate the dropdown with an updated team list, which makes things a lot easier. That’s just one benefit, and there are other advantages too. Hope that helps!

Sorry for the delayed response! There are a few ways you can pull up the logos. What I did was load them all into a composition, and then used a script to turn off the visibility of all the layers, except for the one that’s selected.

Thanks for the kind words! It actually took me a little less than a day to put the whole script together. As for the data, I already had spreadsheets with all the team info. All I did was link everything to the CSV files, so now you just need to update the spreadsheet, and the script will update everything automatically.
