I don’t know if there would be another input, so I am putting my two cents from my experience.

I think when you detach, you are detaching the link to the component “Card” that gets updated. Sure, the inner component is still an instance of the base which is why you get the options to edit the properties.

Only thing I can think of is if you make the allow the base component to get updated(publish) without the “.” at the start. Eventually making the base component another atom that gets updated as you publish.

Yeah that is true, and if i would remove the “.” it will update, but i don’t want the sub components (in this case for example the card header) to be in my component library, that way your library gets cluttered fast with components you won’t use on its own.

Same problem here. We’re hiding our sub components with an “.” to avoid the library from getting cluttered. It would be great if detached parent components using those sub components would still update.

Any other way to accomplish this without publishing any sub component?

I seem to remember that it used to work. We could hide helper components with “.” and

nevertheless after a detach of the parent component the hidden helper components kept updating. Today we noticed the same problem and it breaks our whole library concept… Sometimes it’s necessary that other designers have to detach the master but wont detach the hidden helper components.

if someone has a tip please let me know otherwise please fix this @figma
