Nested property hidden with multiple selection

Been playing around with the “expose nested properties” feature currently in beta.
One of the great uses of variant properties is the ability to batch edit property values on multiple selected components. That use doesn’t carry over to exposed nested properties (yet I hope).

Demo file to help

When selecting one component instance exposing nested properties, said properties display fine. Add another instance of the same component to your selection (using Shift+Click), and the nested properties outright disappear from the right panel.

I haven’t seen this issue raised elsewhere! Do you experience it too?

Please fix this huge gap. It’s so hard to implement design while working on large design systems and their master components.

This is a crucial feature to be able to use nested instances when we select multiple masters

Please look into this 🙏

Hey, this is a needed feature! It kind of defeats the purpose of nested properties if you can’t view/edit them when selecting multiple components.

This feature is indeed really necessary and I hope we will get it soon!

I really need this too. I have a component, which is a table composed of columns and data-cells. Each data-cell comp has its properties, so if I need to change all the cells of one column, I have to do it for EACH cell.
It’s really frustrating.
Please take a look here Figma team. 🙏

+1 We are doing bulk edits to a design which uses some checkboxes and toggles, and it’s a huge time sink to have to manually select and edit dozens and dozens of components just because the nested properties cannot be multi-edited

Same issue here, would be great not to have to go through all instances or copy-paste the proper one each time…
