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.

If I recall correctly Sketch has had this for ages…

It does. This and auto layout shortcomings are my biggest bugbears at the moment with Figma. Do I care about AI drawing me a box that replicates another design… NO… do I care about building better, more easily understood to downstream users, scalable components… YES.

+1. We need this as well.

Has anyone heard anything official from figma? Do we know if its on a roadmap or something?

+1, I have card containers with cards that support different aspect ratios. If I could show only that one property, instead of ALL nested properties… the panel would be less overwhelming for my designers who use the components

Hey all, PM responsible for Component Props. Just wanted to say totally hear the desires and needs for this feature, and it’s something we intend to build at some point. Right now other DS-related features are ahead in priority for us, but part of those priorities do include updates to component props. This is not a forgotten part of the product - were still doing active development here.

Thank for the update. I really appreciate re-prioritizing this. I built many libraries for huge nation wide clients, and I really miss this feature a lot. I can’t think of another feature that goes higher than this in terms of importance to me.

Please, we need it ASAP.

Thanks.
