Question

Styles applied to text layers or component instances get detached at random

We are experiencing a weird issue in Figma where library “Text Styles” applied to text layers or component instances get detached on random.

Our fix is to use a semi-automated way of selecting all text layers on a screen and then perform the “Reset text style” action.

The issue is persistent and seems to happen at random - anyone experienced something similar before?

There is a closed topic on what seems like the same issue, with no resolution provided - Text Styles randomly get detached from original file

Sadly, the detached text styles happened to us to in one of the pretty large projects where putting all text styles back is almost impossible @Figma_Support is there any update on whether this issue will be fixed soon?

Ha, I was thinking that I’m losing my mind. Like, common, I reseted text styles 2 hours ago in this particular screen… or not?

There is a solution. Not ideal, but the fastest: run Selector plugin, select all the text layers, wait, and hit “Reset Text Style”.

@Figma_Support
Any official update on this issue?

In the mean time, can some one explain to me how i can perform the “reset text style command” automatically for a selection?

Same issue here - I’m having it with color styles, text styles & components at random which is very annoying!
Also does anyone have a solution to perform the same trick you can do with text styles just with color styles?

This issue has not been resolved.
We are experiencing this issue where the library components have the correct text and color styles applied, but component instances within our files are detached and no longer have the styles applied. The option to “Reset changes” isn’t even available, despite the discrepancy between the library having styles & the instances having none. Placing new components from the library places them with the same issue— many of the text layers are no longer connected to their color or text styles.

I just encountered that the Figma detached text styles bug has affected another of our projects.

The batch “reset text style” command was no longer usable as a workaround to fix the issue.

I was about to do a test by creating a new component in the UI Kit (the library file) with one variant set with a library text style and the other with the style removed - then testing the instance in another Figma file where the library is used. What I encountered when I attempted to publish the library was that for some reason it looked as if all the text styles were previously removed and are now added back….

So, I published the library and everything was back to normal in the Figma file where instances of the components were used (without having to accept any library updates).

Maybe the issue is not in the instances but in the library file, where for some reason these get unintentionally removed from the published library without notice?

This issue has happened times and times, and I don’t know what is the reason and solution!
Dear Figma, please solve this frustrating issue,
Thank you ☘️
