Question

Text property changing text style

I have a component for a quote box with two variables (large and small). The quote text box has a text property applied (so that if I change the copy, it stays the same when I switch between variants). I did have the text in the large one set to a larger text style than the small one. But now, when I try to edit the text, it changes the text styles in both versions to match. I want to be able to have the text that is in them linked, but not the text style.

This has been an issue since the latest update.

    I have a similar issue.

    I for example have a button component with primary, secondary, outline and ghost variants. The text of the button is bound to a text-property for easy editing. 

    Now comes the bug: When I add an undeline on the ghost button text, all of a sudden all the other button text also has a underline. If I change text color on a hover state, all of a sudden all text changes color. I ran into this issue several times and only detaching the text-property solved it, which ment all the buttons in my design reset to the default button-text. 

    Edit: I know realize that the button-text resetting to the default-text is also a bug. :(

      Same. So annoying. Will need to detach my styles now until this is fixed.

        Same problem on my side. So annoying, text properties are no longer usable as they stand.

            Hey All, thanks for flagging this and apologies for the delayed reply! 

            I passed this topic onto the team, and they confirmed that this is actually a bug related to multi-edit mode. This usually occurs when changing a property while the multi-edit-selected states have a mixed set of typography styles, causing it to incorrectly apply one of the typography styles to all the selected states.


            As a temporary solution, make any of your text substring edits outside of multi-edit mode. Rest-assured, this is on the team’s radar for improvement in the future.
