Today I just opened my project and noticed in the design panel the “Content” group for text is missing. I can edit the text by double clicking on the object though. Since this option is missing, I cannot create properties for components. However, when I select a component I made earlier and created a property for it, the content group is now visible in the design tab/panel. If I break the link, then the content group disappears! gone I’m not sure if there are any other groups missing for other shape, frame or drawing tools! Notes: This happens in all projects. I’ve tried reloading the tabs to no avail. I’ve tried both web and desktop app, same issue. Everything was working when I shut down last night and no updates have occured. Adding text to a new page gives the same no “Content” group in the design tab Any ideas or anyone else affected? EDIT: When working on the master component, I can break the link now and the “Content” group is now visible in the design tab, however, it is NOT working on a standard text object on the page:

Today I just opened my project and noticed in the design panel the “Content” group for text is missing. I can edit the text by double clicking on the object though. Since this option is missing, I cannot create properties for components.

I’m not sure if there are any other groups missing for other shape, frame or drawing tools!

I am having the same problem in Figma’s new UI3, I would include some screenshots.
Also the same thing happens for Icons in the main component with the appearance, I did it before but today it is not working.

It seems like a glitch; try resetting your workspace or updating your software. A digital design agency can help troubleshoot advanced design panel issues if the problem persists!

If you’ve lost the text property option, here’s how to find it: what was “content” for text-based props has now been moved at the top in the sidebar (when you select some text inside a component).

By default the property icon isn’t visible anymore, you see it ONLY if you hover near the area of the text, e.g. near “Label” text in Megzon_Mullahasani screenshot. Then you can click it and set it up as usual.

It’s unbelievable how bad the new UI is
