Variables inside a Variant component?

Hey,

I am having an issue. I am using the string variable to change an image upon hover.
This works, however when I make this into a component variant I lose the ability to attach my string variant to the image inside the component.

When I detach the component i have the ability again.
Any idea’s on how to solve this?

Thanks

Alas, those variables are not available for nested variant instances 😦

    No worries, it is far down on the page, so very easy to miss.

      @Evert_Martin Looks like this has been fixed!

      // Nested instances
      Now, string variables can be bound to a nested instance’s variant properties, rather than only parent instances.
