Option to expose or hide nested component properties

Hey there!

I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid!
I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those.

What do you think about it?

    So sad to watch new feature rollouts every Config, but they still can’t get quality of life stuff like this implemented. Less AI, more love towards the users that still interact with your product at this level, plz.

    I am shocked this isn’t possible…

    For me it would also be fine if at the top level I can just define the properties myself and then use those within the component’s child layers. But that doesn’t work for things that are already defined as properties on those children. Why not just allow properties to be set to a parent property value?

    The fact that both of these approaches don’t work means I don’t know how to take a systematic approach to design using Figma, which is pretty sad.
