Hi wonderful people, I have a design system dropdown component whose close state initially does not come with a hidden menu because I sadly didn’t know better, like this answer suggested.
Consequently, its menu text keeps reverting back to the default copy “Menu Item” in the prototyping version, rather than my override text (the left window is Figma’s prototype preview).
So I decided to paste a hidden menu into the close state. However, I did some publishing tests and discovered if I add a hidden menu, it will reset the copy of all the existing instances on project files because I assume the open state will now inherit the default “Menu Item” from the close state, rather than keeping product designers’ overrides.
I can deprecate the old dropdown component and introduce a new one, but I’d like to avoid it if possible given how prevalent dropdowns are in our files.
Any idea how to fix that? 😭
