In the Dashboard Editor, you cannot set the
base text direction directly for a specific text element of a
given symbol (and there is no API that allows you to do it
either). However, if the symbol was created in such a way that the
base text direction of one of its text elements is linked to a
parameter of the symbol, then you can set its base text direction
indirectly in Dashboard Editor by changing the value of the linked
parameter.
