Extended collection changes are not reflected in font styles

Hello,

we are currently exploring how the new extended collection feature is working.

We figured out that variables in extended collections that are connected with font styles are not updating the font styles when changed. You have to detach and re-attach the font style to get the changes in the variables.

How you can achieve this:

You can easily reproduce the bug in the community file that Luis provided - see attached link.

1. Create a text layer for each brand using the "Heading" style

2. Go to the "Typography Primitives" collection and change each brands "Family Sans" variable to a different font family

3. You will see that only the Heading of the original Theme collection will change, but not the other brands (coming from the extended collection).

4. Detach/Reattach the Heading style for the brands and the change happens Conclusion: there seems to be a bug that avoids that text styles are automatically updated when the come from extended collections.

Attached you find a screenshot showing the problem. Figma File URL: https://www.figma.com/community/file/1575803530898880325
