Question

Deleting text property in master component resets text in it's instances

Julia_Mnizhek

Hi!
Has anyone encountered this issue: some of our components had text properties so the text could be set directly in the properties panel. Some time later, we decided to delete these text properties. As a result, after publishing the library, in all instances of SOME components (not all, SOME), the text that was linked to the variable gets reset to the default. 

But this doesn’t happen in every component that had a deleted text variable.

Is this a bug or expected behavior? Has anyone run into this? How did you deal with it?

We have a large library used by 50+ designers, and what seemed like a tiny update that didn’t break anything during testing ended up resetting values to defaults in some components after publishing.

Hi ​@Julia_Mnizhek, Thanks for letting us know about this!

 

I understand you're experiencing an issue where overrides you've made to text properties reset to the default when those properties are removed from the main component.

 

It looks like you've found a long-standing bug that our engineering team is working on. Unfortunately, we can't give you an exact timeframe for when this will be fixed, but we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

To help in any small way I can, I've added your post to the existing report to help get this issue more attention and hopefully move it up the priority list.

 

Thanks again for contacting us!

Thank you ​@Junko3  for the reply! And thank you for passing this on to the engineering team. It helped clarify things a bit. I’m currently discussing this issue with support, but they haven’t given a clear answer yet. Hopefully this bug gets fixed. Looking forward to it.
