Here is a screenshot.

To provide more clarity, this functionality was working fine for me up until today. I have several components whose text is a variable. Only in the past 2 hours has these texts started disappearing, first in the “Present” mode and then in all instances that I change or create.

All new components created this way also do not show text.

The only new ones that show text are if I create an instance first, and then change the text of the component to the variable. New instances created after the variable is selected will have no text as seen in the below screenshot:

Hey there,

Thanks for flagging. It looks strange. Would you be able to share the file link? I tested on my end with the latest update, and I can’t reproduce this issue.

Thanks,

I am facing the same issue, what was the resolution?

I have the same issue. When I run the prototype with a text variable, it displays for a second in the prototype and then vanishes. I’ve restarted Figma and cleared the cache but the problem persists.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. As I checked this case internally, this issue could be a feature limitation. As a temporary workaround, could you try running the “Regenerate all instances” actions command then refreshing the file?

You can find this from the top left Figma icon >> Quick Actions >> “Regenerate all instances”.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

Hi still the same, nothing changed. The text keeps disappearing.

Hey there, thanks for flagging.

Then, could you submit a bug report detailing the steps that led to this issue? You can do so by following the link: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360041468234-Submit-a-bug-report.

Thanks for your patience.

Hey, thanks, I found out the reason in my case, it was on my side and I fixed it. I’m not sure how in other people’s cases.

Have a great day.
