Summary:

When switching between variable modes in Figma (e.g., Balanced Endorsement, Light Endorsement, Full Endorsement), colours applied to components (e.g., buttons) do not update correctly. Some elements retain the wrong colour despite the linked colour updating correctly.
 

Steps to Reproduce:

Hard to say as this was working correctly until 22nd August


Expected Behaviour:

All component fills and text colours should update consistently to the values defined in the selected variable mode.
 

Actual Behaviour:

  • Some fills remain stuck on a previous mode

  • Variables show as linked correctly in the right-hand panel, but the applied colour doesn’t match the mode

  • In the component preview, some components display the wrong colours


Impact:

  • Prevents accurate visual QA across design tokens

  • Causes visual inconsistency

  • Dev’s are frustrated

Hey ​@Ascroft - sorry for the trouble, and thanks for providing the version number.

Would it be possible for you to share edit access to the file that contain these mode issues? I’m going to file a bug report, and it would be helpful to provide that to our engineering team to investigate further.

If you can do that, can you please share edit access to the file with support-share@figma.com, and then PM me the URL to it? You won’t be charged, and only our engineering and support teams will be able to access it. I’ll get that process going.

If you can’t do that, no worries (I know sometimes NDA or other factors prohibit your sharing). Just let me know here.
