It's been seven years since the initial release of their software. I think it's safe to assume they'll never support complex script or RTL text. Even if they do waaay into the future it might not be relevant anymore. Just stick to Adobe Creative Cloud, folks. It's getting better and more cost effective. Or use some of the wonderful open source stuff. The latest releases of Inkscape and Scibus are amazing.

Or you can use RTL Fixer with Affinity software. RTL Fixer has made significant progress In the last year and it is the closest to perfection that can be obtained with RTL languages along with Affinity software.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums  

This is something Serif do want to support in the Affinity range, but unfortunately it is not a bug with a simple "fix". For this to be supported a lot of code needs to be written, as it requires support for mixed LTR and RTL in the same sentence to be properly useful, not just RTL for a whole sentence/paragraph. Sorry there is not better news on this at the moment.

Funny, ArtWayz was able to build a third party tool (RTL Fixer) that brings RTL support for Affinity products. The app also support mix RTL and LTR. Ohh, and all that, in less than half a year. Are you sure Serif is working on that?

According to the VectorStyler web site, information posted today shows that RTL mode is 'still beta'. Fine. I did set the paragraph options to RTL, using a font with RTL characteristics, and other options including language, but the result is not very good. Sure it's RTL, but it's not acceptable for Perso-Arabic except for crosswords. It may work for Hebrew.

I tested RTL Fixer by ArtWayz in VectorStyler with Hebrew and Arabic and it worked. I just needed to add the app name to the app list that RTL Fixer need to interact.

It's an app that works independent of affinity. From what I saw, it also support other software that has the same issue with RTL writing.

The app is independent. Published by ArtWayz.
