After the last update, working with Variants has become almost impossible.
When I select the component set, I can see all properties. But when I select an individual component, I only see one property.
Also, selecting multiple components to set e.g. size property is also not possible.
Now, I could select all components, right click → Rename and add “State=Default” (and then Rename them to Hover / Clicked respectively). But that is “old shool” and time consuming.
I only used the old school layer naming defining the props earlier. I might need to go through all component variants now and see if they aren’t assigned with the “Variant” property as well.
as a beginner i can see two things
first, in your first screenshot there is a little ! icon next to the State property, this says when you hover that this property is not used in any variant
Second, the new text and boolean properties work in a totally different way and should be used in a different way from variant properties, more here in the new article : https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/5579474826519
