Cannot make a prototype connection

Hey @Sarah_Hartman, thanks for reaching out and sorry for the trouble!

I just bumped up your Forum trust level to a basic user. Can you try sharing your video again, so we can take a closer look?

Hey @Sarah_Hartman, thanks for providing the video!

From your screen recording, it looks like you’re trying to connect a variant instance that’s nested in a higher level variant set to a different variant. This is unfortunately not possible.

What are you ultimately trying to build? Are you able to share a link to your file?

With more context, we may be able to suggest a workaround. If you can share a link to the file, please also share it with support-share@figma.com, so we can take a closer look.

Thanks for helping,
I am following this tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uI3k9Ol-Mp4 on creating a drop down menu
I did it successfully one time but I had to change the font size and box size to accommodate and it never worked again. I even tried a new canvas.
Here is the file: https://www.figma.com/file/ovJ9Xz09RM6RiyNNVz2v71/MFAH-Hi-Fi?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=ldkVbDoiuKzDiKJR-1 also shared to the email given.
Thanks again

Also,
The email bounced. Is it the correct address?
