Dear Figma community,


I’d like to do two actions on click of a checkbox:



  1. set a variable to increase a counter

  2. change the component variant to a different variant that has a checked checkbox.


Just looking at the interface Figma seems to allow me to do this and add the change to. However when I try to change the status from “default” to “selected”, it automatically switches back after I select “selected”. Why could this be? Does anyone have an idea?


Thank you for your help!



Update: I got it to work by removing and adding it back a few times. Not sure what happened there.

How did you get this to work? I’ve tried deleting and adding many times but it just keeps switching back to the current variant.


I frankly don’t know, I tried out many many times of removing and adding back and at some point it worked. I think it also had to do with the order in which I added but just assumptions.
