I’m designing a restaurant menu website (similar to a Culver-style menu) in Figma that includes multiple categories, item cards, prices, images, and promotional labels. I’m using components and variants for menu items so I can reuse them across different frames and pages.
The issue I’m facing is that when I update a component (for example, changing a price style, item description, or image), the changes don’t always propagate correctly to all instances. Some instances update as expected, while others remain unchanged or partially updated, even though they appear to be linked to the same main component.
I’ve double-checked overrides, variants, and auto-layout settings, but the behavior is still inconsistent. Is this a known limitation with nested components or variants, or is there a best practice for managing large, multi-category menu systems in Figma to avoid this issue?
