Hi,
As far as I know, unfortunately the features that fulfill your needs are not standard in Resolve or Fusion up to the current version.
I also had a project that required similar changes in the past, and I sought a way, but there was no good solution.
However, I solved it with a slightly brute force method using Fusion below, so I'm glad if it could help.
1. Create a node flow that assumes diversion and partial changes.
2. Save the flow as a macro, checking the export of parameters that may change later (in this case, Styled Text to replace with each entry, and its font and position will be required at a minimum).
3. Place the saved macro in the flow of Fusion comp and create instances of the macro as many as the number of entries.
4. Deinstance only the text of each instance. This allows you to change the text of each entry individually, plus all fonts and positions can be changed at the same time.
5. Connect the Saver node to each of the original macro and the created instance and render.
Then Fusion comp looks like this.
As long as you use the rendered clip on Resolve, if you want to change the font or position after editing, you can change it on the Fusion comp and overwrite by re-rendering to automatically update clips.
But in the end, I had to take such a tricky approach because I couldn't find a way to use an expression or connect to the font.
If you find any other smarter solution, please let me know.
