When I change a component's variants, text property reverts to default

I’m having the same issue. I’ve got multiple text components as my base text state. They are nested in other master components. If I change the nested text component version in one of these master components, say from H2 to H3, all instances of all components gets a hard text reset. It makes the text component a dead feature really, and is prone to some deadly errors while maintaining a design system.

Having this same issue with text properties

Hey everyone, I’d appreciate if you could share a screen recording via Loom or Google drive. This will be helpful to reproduce this on our end. 

Alternatively, you can reach out to the support team via this form and share a file link with them. Please add support-share@figma.com as an Editor to your file (this won’t affect your billing at all). 

Thanks in advance!

Hi all,

I had the same issue but I managed to solve it.

What worked for me (hopefully will work for you too!) is that I had to rename all the instances to match across variants.

In my case, I had a drop-down menu with 4 different entries. I wanted the entries to change color when hovered or clicked. However, their text would also change to “Pending”, since that’s the text from the component.

As mentioned above, only when all elements where named the same (e.g. all texts are called “text”, all icons are called “icon”), then it worked for me, and hovering on “approved” would change the background color without changing the text inside.

Best of luck with you project!

Hello,
I’m having the same issue.
I have a nested components, and all the text layers are the same in the component, but when I use the pressed state in the prototype, the text resets to the component text:

I just opened figma and noticed this bug
