Trouble setting a component that changes the state of its parent

I’m having trouble setting a component that changes the state of its parent.
I have done this flux:

• Create component A with default and hover variant
• Create component B with two variants (dropdown closed and open)
• Add component A as a child of component B. Add an On click → Change to interaction to the instance of component A. The two variants of component B will show up as options under the variant drop-down; you can open the drop-down, but you cannot select any variant besides the one that is already selected

Is this a bug of Figma? Or is my fault?
