    i animate the faceColor of a text label programmatically, but the color of the submesh doesn't change. Doing this in the inspector works.

    I tried havePropertiesChanged and SetMaterialDirty with no success.

    Solved:
    Code (CSharp):
    1. text.color = value;
    2. text.havePropertiesChanged = true;

    I will still look into this as changes the text color property should be reflected on the entire text object.

    setting the color property changes the submeshes correctly, setting faceColor didn't work.

    The TMP_Text.color property affects the vertex color which is unique to each text object.

    The TMP_Text.faceColor alters the face color of the material and in this process creates an instance of the material.

    That makes sense given the sub text object is using a different material and likely an oversight on my part :)

    I'll try to fix that as soon as I have a chance.
