Hey there, lovely community!


I’ve noticed something quite frustrating since the recent Figma updates, and I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered it too.


I seem to be unable to change the font-weight for text inside instances. It always sets to the one that other text has. Changing text font-weight is only working for text that’s not within a component.

If anyone else is experiencing this issue, I’d love to hear how you’re managing or if you’ve found any workarounds.


If there is a similar issue somewhere, pardon me. I haven’t found it yet.

Thanks a bunch!

Works fine for me 🤷

Hmm, it seems that for certain fonts, if the text is linked to the text property in the component, it will have this behavior.

I’m having the same issue with not being able to update font weight within in instance. One thing I did realize is you can use key board shortcuts for bold, underline, etc and it will override but Figma really needs to investigate this one.

Same-- we can only make text inside of an Instance bold, etc, if using Keyboard shortcuts. It does NOT stay as an override if the changes are made through the Properties panel

Hey All, thanks for flagging this and sorry for the trouble!


This is a bug, and it’s already under investigation. Keep in mind that text style overrides currently do not include intermediate font weights (Extra bold, Semi bold, etc.) :



This is likely going to take some time to be resolved as it requires attention from a number of different teams. We apologize for the ongoing disruption it’s been causing!
