I’m also looking for the ability to create a ‘boolean property’, but with the new UI, the button seems to have disappeared. Has this feature been renamed or moved somewhere else?

Edit:
Oh, never mind, I found it.
Edit 2:
Actually… I can’t find where to apply the boolean property to a layer. So I’m still stuck.
Layer panel is Appearance now. So the boolean property is here
@andreaszzz - You may be trying to add a property on an element within an instance of a component, instead of the component itself. In that case you won’t see the boolean property button on the layer/appearance (and you also shouldn’t have before the updated Figma UI).
I’m sure you might have already got to this, but I also was having a similar problem.
I figured out that for some files the boolean icon appears and in others it doesn’t (maybe something to do with the age or permissions of a file?) but I found that when the button wasn’t in the right appearance panel, it shows up as a different icon, where you can choose either a variable or a property option
Clicking on this lets you select from either the root component, or from other libraries.
This is what I was looking for. I must say the constant changes that keep coming from Figma are not always easy to keep up with especially for someone fairly new to it. Thank you for posting this!
I have the same Issues only swap instance is showing
You saved me, thank you! 🤩
So weird that in the same file one component has it outside and another one in a second level like this.
Non-issue, but just commenting that I was also thrown off by this change for a couple of minutes before looking up this thread. (The new way works, it’s just not as intuitive)
God saved my life - thanks for posting, it’s so hidden!
Thank you guys you made my day for this solution given
