When loading a component instance via the Assets panel, variables like color and font-family are not loaded. When looking at the main component in the component library file, variables are set correct.

When a component instance is copied over from the component library file. Variables are working and applied to the component instance correctly.

Problem is that when working with slots, you cannot copy component into these slots. This makes it impossible to use my component instances, because they are always missing the variables I assigned to them in the component library.

Use-case were variables are not working
Use case were variables are working correctly
