LAUNCHED: Allow modifying "Decoration" to the text styles already defined

One option that could be useful is to allow modifying the decoration of a text that has already been defined as a text style, because that way you do not have to create two or more text styles to simply add the decoration. As with alignment, it could be added below. thanks

+1. Let us style “underlines” like we would in CSS (e.g. different color than text etc.) and override styles to accommodate “decoration.”

+1 from me as well. May be introduced as a property-like-thing on text-styles.

+1! Being able to apply maintainable text style overrides would really help keep the integrity of our design system. In addition to underlines, being able to override font weights / styles (for mid-sentence emphasis text) in the same manner would be particularly powerful.

Hey !

Don’t know if anyone is still trying to find a solution. But I may have a workaround. Maybe someone already find it… but just in case, here it is.

For example, if you wanna add an underline to a text on hover without detaching the text styles ; you can put the text into an auto layout frame and add a border bottom to your new created frame.

Hope it helps somebody 🙂

This feature would make our developer team very happy! To keep our text styles neat we do not want to create a separate style for every main style just to get underline or italics…

Using Figma since 2018.

Needing this solution! Our text styles are used for a variety of things. The same style used for a paragraph on desktop might need less line spacing on mobile.
It’s driving me crazy that I can’t just simply adjust some of these things. Why would the case or alignment be an option to customize, but not the line height or any of the other common text customizations?

How is it 2023 and they still have not released an update for this??

Echoing other people’s frustrations, managed text style overrides need to be available. What is this 2022?
