We’re having the same issue. All of our design system files are throwing this error, while showing no issues (or changes) in the core UI kit.

Figma - we need to know when this will change - this is breaking to our design system.

Same bug. I assumed it had to do with the rollout of slots.

Heather Edwards

Hey everyone - I apologize for the trouble.

This is a bug our engineering team is investigating as a high priority right now. I will be merging existing topics to this one, and will continue to add updates as I receive them

Thank you for your patience.

EDIT: While this continues to be worked on, you can continue to keep tabs on this topic, and also on our status page as well.

 

Appreciate your patience, everyone.

Same issue. Tested with a brand new simple AB variant published in a new library. The issue appears there too. 

 


This exact issue has been happening to me for the past 4 hours. I have my design system where all the components seem to be set up perfectly. Then every single instance of every component says “"Properties and values of this variant are conflicting" and theres absolutely nothing I can fix.

When I copy and instance from the design file into another file where it is published, it breaks, when I paste it back into the design system file, it’s fine again.

Hey everyone - can you all try making a small change to a component and republishing to see if things have reverted back to normal?

 

UPDATE as of May 6, 2026 @ 3:30 PM PT -- engineering team is continuing to work on the issue. As we approach the weekend, we will do our best to update you. In the meantime, please try the above and comment if you were or were not able to get things to work.

Marking this as the solution (temporarily) to boost visibility.

@ksn I’m still seeing the issue in my file, fwiw. (After restarting desktop).


I just restarted everything (even my computer) and it is still happening. I am using the desktop app.

Thanks ​@halcyon100 - can you make a small change to a component and republishing it to see if that fixes?

@ksn I’m also still experiencing the same issue after restarting desktop app.


I just made a small change to a component and republished and it did not work (I appreciate your help very much) 

Meaning the small change did publish, but all the errors still persist

@ksn Yes, also tried a component update / publish / refresh in file consuming it, with no change. (Also, thank you for your help.)

My workaround is to create a sandbox page on our 'design system' file, change the variants there, and then paste them back into my project file.

Thank you ​@Jayla_Rediger ​@halcyon100 -- I took this back to engineering for more investigation.

I’m having the same issue


Having the same issue.  Spent hours trying to figure it out.  I’m somewhat relieved it’s a bug and not something I did. 


Danielle Gardner

having the same issue. changing something like text and changing back didn’t fix it. also using the slots beta.
