Problem with colour inheritance

In a Figma library file, we have an icon set as separate components. The icons are multiple shape objects, i.e. they are not compound paths. All the icons should be monochrome in any state.

 

If we replace one icon(component) with another only parts of the icon will inherit the colours from its replacement. The rest of the icon shapes will pick their colour from the colour applied to the icons as Main Components. Can anyone help with troubleshooting this or confirm that this is a bug?

This might be the same issue. If this bug was indeed reported it doesn’t seem to have been fixed yet.

@Keketso The only thing that worked for me was flattening all the vector layers of the icon into one vector layer. The icon now inherits state colors correctly.
