LAUNCHED: Nested variant component override controls

it would be nice if the inspector would list overrideable / swappable nested components without one having to drill down into the component’s layers.

This would allow to quickly select multiple components and change an override for all of them. Currently I have to click through the relevant layers of all marked components to adjust the overrides in bulk: E.g. changing an icon override for multiple components.

Just found out even the API isn’t released for it yet. Soo will need to wait for that first. But I’m glad you are such an active user and immediately thought about the plugin after that feature was added.

Feel free to design some drafts for the UI by duplicating the open design file https://figma.fun/uxf00U and then send me the link if you create something. No rush here, I don’t think I’ll actually be able to actively work on any plugins for some time.

Oh that would be great! I just sent you a DM. Also the API seems to be available, just not documented or announced anywhere yet.

Hi there,

Nested variant is such a great feature. But I don’t understand why Figma did not allow to manually select which variant we want to be displayed and which variant we do not want to show… This is really painful.

Or is there a way to do this ?
