Nested property hidden with multiple selection

@y_toku
I think you’re missing the point, everyone here understands how to expose nested instances properties of ONE selected instance but what people are asking is to be able to see the nested properties when selecting MULTIPLE instances of the same component.

came here from a search to find solution to this issue (which it seems does not exist yet).

commenting to keep this thread alive. this issues really nerfs the power of components.

Thank you for pointing that out. It seems I had a misunderstanding. My apology for that. I now fully understand the situation and am currently discussing it with our team. I’ll share if I have more information to share with you.

Thanks again.

Hi all,

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve checked with our internal team that it’s feature limitation due to some technical reasons. Exposed properties of nested components are not available when selecting multiple instances at the moment.

The post title previously included [LAUNCHED], which was incorrect. I have now removed it for clarity. I hope this clears up any confusion.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated and our product team will take it into consideration for potential future enhancements!

Thanks,
Toku

Hi @y_toku,

I appreciate the rapid feedback.
I think @dvaliao had touched on that point back in October, saying it would cause performance issues.
I think I’m not alone when I say please keep trying to implement this feature. It might not be part of any mainstream workflow but it would greatly simplify the kind of work that I use Figma for.

Thank you!

Well, not sure it’s that “non mainstream” I really think it makes workflow of people using complex design systems and using repetitive instances more tiresome. And I think this is often bigger companies case, which I would guess would be a good client for Figma. So maybe it should still be treated as thing to fix, even if technically difficult. Would be really a relieve to me, too : )

Also: this topic is still marked as “this topic has a solution” in the topics list. Can we remove that ; ) ? Because it’s not really true it’s solved : )

Bumping for a solution!

Commenting to keep this thread alive. We just rebuilt our library and now realizing this issue. I’m hoping we won’t need to wait any longer for Figma to add support for this.

+1 on that. Come on Figma!
