Expand Reset Overrides

Figma desperately needs to expand the overrides that can be reset.
For overrides that are not in the list, “Reset All” is a massively inconvenient alternative as it resets things you had no intent of resetting.

Every property would be great, but notable top priority:
Reset Height Individually
Reset Width Individually
Reset Autolayout Resizing (Fill, Hug, Etc).
Reset Autolayout Spacing
Reset Autolayout Padding
Reset Clip Content
Reset Border Radius

Being able to reset on a more granular level is the takeaway here.

I feel this doesn’t get enough love, but is a daily annoyance for those trying to retain a source of truth with their Components.

If anything, open up the capability for a contributor to build a plugin. If one exists, please point me in the right direction.

🙏

A couple other suggestions:

  • I’d love to be able to reset all overrides EXCEPT content/instance properties, as a single action. 99% of the time, the only thing I want to keep is the content.
  • Overall, the “reset” menu has too many options, and it’s only going to get longer. I’m not suggesting we remove any options— instead, it would be great to redesign this menu and/or add reset actions to all sections in the design panel. e.g. if I changed a color, add a reset button in the color section.

+1, we really need this option to reset paddings, for example. It’s very hard right now.

Today I found out that “reset size” won’t even restore variables.
You are forced to “reset all” 😑

Push. We need this feature to reset each property individually. This is basic stuff.
Either by extending the menu or another concept directly at the respective property.

Push, just to not auto-close this thread. Me personally need to reset paddings most often.

Ye gods, how is this not a thing? We literally NEVER want content to be wiped, guys. Come the f on.

Push. You may imagine how surprised I was when I found out that it’s impossible to reset overridden paddings in the component instance. 🥲 I guess it’s a fix we all need.
