Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure.
Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component.

What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

+1. God, please.

The total lack of acknowledgement in spite of this many votes over 2+ years is disappointing yet unsurprising.

+1 , this would clean up our components greatly - disappointed it’s not possible! Also, no answer in two years?!

Hello. Figma team, any news on this? Framer does it in a very simple way: select the nested layer and create a property at the parent component level; do this and remove the add property/nested components, as makes no sense at nested component level… Also with Framer approach, you could set a property that controls both parent and nested component layers/elements…

Just moved from Sketch to Figma and I am very disappointed this feature doesn’t exist. Sketch supports this along with a few other features that I would consider more basic for components. Please add this ASAP

+1 we have the same problem, we can’t seem to align our props to code due to this restriction.

+1 here-- choosing which properties to expose, and the ORDER that they show up, would solve so many problems for us
