Unable to Reorder Boolean and Variant Properties

In my Toggle Switch component, I have a mix of properties (variants and booleans). I’m able to reorder the variants but it seems I cannot reorder the boolean. I want the order of my properties to be:

Variant - “State”

Boolean - “Label”

Variant - “Label Position”

Is this possible?

I'm also facing the same issue. It's very important for me and my organization

I am currently unable to reorder or change the position of Variants and Properties in the property panel in Figma. This issue is critical for our organization as it disrupts our Design System and hinders the relationship between dependent properties. We would appreciate a prompt resolution to this problem.

Thanks for the update Dave, I appreciate your attention to this glitch!

I have a few other findings to share regarding recent bugs, so I’ll start a new thread for those once this is resolved. Looking forward to hearing back from you.

Thanks :)

Hey ​@Subham Saurabh 

 

Thanks for your patience while I checked this with the team.

 

I’ve heard back from engineering and can confirm this is expected behaviour rather than a bug. Variant properties are designed to always sit at the top of the Properties panel in the right sidebar. You can reorder variant properties among themselves, but they can’t be placed between other property types like boolean, text, or instance swap. So in your case, having a boolean property between two variant properties isn’t something that’s currently supported.

I know that’s not ideal, especially if it impacts how your design system is structured, but hopefully that clears up what’s happening here.

Really appreciate you flagging it and sharing the context.

 

Thanks,
Dave
