Hey @Teresa2, this sounds like this could be potentially a bug. We had similar bugs before and looks like the engineers had rolled out fixes for this. But I am not quite sure if this is the same issue, so we can take a closer look at what’s going on here, are you able to provide a screen recording?
Please include the whole window, with the properties and layers panels in view and relevant layers expanded, and select any layers you’re having trouble with so we can check any relevant settings. We use these videos to try and reproduce the issue in our own files and so showing all steps needed to reproduce the behavior is helpful.
If possible can you add support-share@figma.com as an Editor to your file where overrides are being lost and to the library file (this won’t affect your billing at all) and send through a link to a frame where the overrides are being lost?
Thanks in advance!
I have the same problem here, when I change a components variants, text property reverts to default.
How to fix it?

I have also facing the similar problem in Table. The Cell component is nested within the Row component, and the Row component is nested within the Table component. The Cell component includes a text property and offers two variants: Small & Medium. Similarly, the Row component also provides two variants: Small & Medium.
When the Table’s size is changed from small to medium or vice versa, the text in the default state of the Rows and Cells remains unchanged; only the size is updated. However, in the Selected, Hover, or Focus states, all Cells revert to the default state of the Cell’s text property.
Is there any way to fix this.
Thanks!
Hey @Barbara3 & @Meghna1, sorry for the issues! I would appreciate it, if you could provide a screen recording. This will be helpful to flag this internally with the teams and reproduce this on our end.

I have the same issue. I can’t upload a video since i am apparently a new user. Can I email you the video? or something?
Hey @Anuj3 , sorry to hear this is also happening to you. I am working closely with Gayani. Can you please reach out directly to the support by filling out this form: here
Please use your Figma account email, include your video, a link to the file, and add support-share@figma.com as Editor, so they can take a closer look and investigate it. Thank you
I have this issue as well. Can recreate it from scratch with minimal setup using Figma desktop app version 124.5.5. Here’s a video of how to reproduce: Dropbox
Same for me. Wanted to create general icon component using icon font. This general component would have different variants for different sizes, like 24x24, 20x20, 16x16… and user of this component would use instance swap to swap in the desired symbol (which is just a text with unicode character) … problem is, when swapping the instance, it does not use font size from previous instance.
Hi, same here, also while designing a table header with filters.
I have a container component table-column-filter, within which I have a nested component checkbox.
When I change the checkbox component’s label in a table-column-filter’s instance, it displays properly in the workspace, but not in the preview/present tab, where it displays the checkbox’s default label.
HOWEVER, I found a workaround : the changes in the nested component work in the preview ONLY if the nested component is present on the default variant of the container component.
