This interaction will not be triggered as interactions on instances are triggered before inherited internal interactions

I’m getting a warning message appear on all of my components with interactions. I’m able to re-produce it by creating a basic text component with 2 variants and a hover state change. Can someone share any insight into why this is happening? Screenshot and message below.

Hey Simon, thanks for details! This looks like a long standing bug that our engineering team is aware. It would be great if you can reach out to the support team with a copy of your file, so we can double check and investigate it further by filling a form here: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new.

Be sure to use your Figma account email, include a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com so they can take a closer look. Thank you!

@ksn i don’t see the warning anymore, that’s a first.
It seems to be working, thanx for the quick fix !

I still have a problem on one of my components but i’ll investigate.

Still experience this on a simple Checkbox interaction. I didn’t create it myself, it’s a component in the SAP design system file, but I don’t see why this shouldn’t work bc the component isn’t created any other way I would create it.

It’s a nested checkbox component in a page template. I don’t see any reason why this shouldn’t work. If I detach the page template component I can set the interaction. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Hi @Celine_Figma thx for the prompt reply. As it’s an open lib (SAP Fiori) you first have to downoad and import for yourself, I don’t know if my file helps as it is bound to a published lib of said design system within my organization.

The best option will be to share the affected file directly to the support team. You can send directly a link to the file, and share it with support-share@figma.com by inviting them directly as an editor so they can take a closer look. (this won’t affect your billing at all).
Be sure also to use your Figma account email, and a quick screenshot/video recording, this will help us to better visualise your issue. Thank you

I have also this alerts showing in my buttons hover interaction, but when in Prototype mode it works perfectly fine. I guess that, as my button has a instance property of “click”, while the hover property is from the parent, Figma is trying to say me that the hover won’t work because first is the instance interaction, and as this one is a click interaction, the “hover” won’t show up.
To be honest, this is not a problem for me as I said earlier, because my component still works. But obviously, it is a issue because if this is the case, then Figma is showing me false information in the UI, wich can be a problem later on.

The Warning is gone now, thanks for the quick turnaround here.

I don’t know if it’s another issue that’s addressed in a different context, but now The option to choose from when adding an interaction “on klick change to…” just shows the Properties for the surrounding component instance, not the component I need to change properties for. In this case a datepicker component inside a page component.

See Screenshot of actual option available:


and options for properties expected:

Any idea @Celine_Figma
