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.

This feature is really a must-have! I try to workaround by adding Stop-Emojis in the property name, so that users of the design system won’t change the nested property. Much better it would be, if we could hide unwanted properties in the parent component.

The need for this is such a no brainer.

So many upvotes and comments and still not a hint of solving this 😦
It’s a must-have! We use slots and master components a lot and this heavily affects usage of our components.

Any update on this ?

Please Figma, just copy paste and ship this please. Zoltan already did the work for you 🙏

Love that properties from nested components are available.

Unfortunately when designing object oriented components it becomes a huge pain to see many unnecessary properties that should remain untouched. Also creates clutter.

Curious what the Figma team thinks the best solution is.

I guess what we need is a setting for each property of a component to allow it to be listed or not in parent components.

But maybe there are better ways. I trust them to come up with something brilliant.
