Can the source text for several layers be controlled by one layer?

I have been trying to put this expression in layer 1 and hoping to control layer 5,6 7 etc.

thisComp.layer(5).text = "43"

Needless to say, it doesn't work. Is there something that does?

To control Layer 5's text from Layer 1, you would apply an expression like this to Layer 5's Source Text property:

thisComp.layer("Layer 1").text.sourceText
