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.

I would also love this feature, it would simplify components and really improve efficiency for our Design System users.

Pleeeeease! This would solve so many headaches I’m currently struggling with as I nest components

Please please, this would be such a game changer for more complex components with subcomponents and nested properties.

Come here for the same issue. At the moment this lack prevents us to use the feature at all in our design system. We don’t want consumers to override all the properties (introducing confusion and inconsistencies) of predefined components coming from the shared library.

PS: Don’t forget to vote the thread
