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’m just encountering this too when creating new components - i have a file with some old ones where this isn’t happening so can see what its supposed to be doing and does already- not multi-editing

For me it also occurred today with a new component. With the old component on the same page, it doesn’t happen. In my new component, as soon as I apply the same text property to the text element in all component variants, the font styles and text colors of all text element are becoming the same in each variant.

Okay, I found a workaround in my case:
I detached the text property from my text elements (throughout all my variants). Then I deleted the text property completely. I created a new text property directly on the component (first being not linked to any text element). I gave it a different name from the old one, just to be sure. Then I selected my text elements again and applied the new text property. Now they all kept their inherent font styles and text colors.

(I realised this, because before my fix, when I applied the text property to my text elements, the font styles were not defaulting to one of the elements’ font styles, e.g. like to the first one’s style, as if the text property just syncs the font styles in addition to the text content. It actually applied a different font style to all the text elements which I have tried out before. So I assume that when I created my original text property, a font style -- and probably color as well -- was somehow linked to that property? Maybe that helps when debugging this.)
