Hi there 🙃
My team and I are a little worried about an apparent bug where an instance of a component with changed settings will revert to its original overrides when copied.
Have this also happened to you?

Hey All, sorry for the frustration and lack of acknowledgement!
The forums have historically been run by the community, so my team here may not see topics immediately, but we’ll do our best. Also, keep in mind that we do not own Figma_Support, so looping in that handle does not reach our team.
In the future, for timely replies and specific bug updates, we recommend flagging a bug report directly to our support team via the form here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374
That said, this is a long standing bug that our team has been trying to solve since October 2022, which was 4 months before this topic began.
Our team has already tried to reproduce and unfortunately, it looks like the reason why the instances appear incorrectly is because Figma does not bring over the instances/relink them correctly during paste. Figma leaves the layers which use those instances “dangling.” Because of the way this feature was built, there’s no way for us to know how to fix those, because they’re being pasted and not published.
As a workaround, try going to the file that the icons live, make a no-op change (like making and deleting a change to the description), republish, and then accept updates. After, try copying/pasting again.
What would be a HUGE help, would be submitting a bug report (as I mentioned above) with your affected files, so that the team can trace through the code to see what’s EXACTLY happening. With this info, we’ll be able to make more progress to finally fix.
