Basically I have a component that is built like a fullscreen overlay in two variations, one Positive variant and one Negative variant. In my design I have a list of items, depending on whether a user taps a positive cell vs a negative cell I want to display the corresponding overlay. The list cells are also components with a positive and a negative variant and I seem to be able to pull an interaction from each variant to the overlay component, but I can’t seem to be able to direct the interaction to a specific variant of the overlay component, but rather to the “component-group” frame resulting in interaction always displaying the first variant of the component.


And just to be clear, I realize I can break up the overlay into two individual components and solve it that way, and maybe that’s even the way it’s supposed to be solved, I just wanted to know if there’s some quirk here in Figma interaction that I could use that I’m unaware of?


Thankful for any input!

Hey @Max18 , thank you for reaching out! This sounds like a feature limitation to me “I can’t seem to be able to direct the interaction to a specific variant of the overlay component ”.

To make sure I’ve understand this case correctly are you able to share a screen recording with me? I’ll be able to share this internally to ask the teams if there is a better solution to create this than to break up the overlay into two individual components.


Thank you!


Hi @Gayani_S ,


Thanks for your response. After some consideration I think I was chasing a non-optimal solution, so my initial question is no longer valid.


Thanks!

Max
