Preserve overrides in instances swapped inside component

I’m having this issue as well trying to build out an accordion with interactive components. All my naming in the list overrides go away when the interactive component toggles states. Too bad kinda of a deal breaker for interactive components for me for most use cases.

Having this issue even with layer names being 100% the same.

Amazing trick!!! I wonder does this work in other contexts, not just text…

I’m glad u like it!
Might work 🙂 I only tested this with text elements. This is currently my go to setup for labels or other text layers in components that i want to keep between different variations. Like keeping the label name while switching between a radiobutton component, text input or checkbox component, as long as you use the same layer name the override follows.

I got curious and tested it. I noticed that this even works for like a rectangle with an image. The overrides follows if the same principle of naming layers identical between components is applied 🙂

I am experiencing this same issue atm… I would love it if there was a better way how to control/prevent text overrides

Hello Figma community - has there been a fix for this issue? I’m running into this problem and it overrides all my text and it’s driving me crazyy!

We are having a similar issue.
Here are the steps to reproduce this ( please see photos )

• base component with 2 variants, a text property for the label is defined

• parent 1 has an instance of base component

• parent 2 has 2 instances of parent 1

• change the text of the 2 instances in parent 2

• change the variant of one of the instances in parent 2, the text override is maintained.

• change the variant of Parent 1

• the text override in the Parent 2 instances is reset if you change the Parent 1 instance’s variant, but sometimes it does not.
  Mostly the instance’s text override value is preserverd, but sometimes the value of the text override is reset.
  It seems to affect the first child of Parent 2 but never the second in this case.

• this is happening for instance swap components as well, the context is a row made up of cells which have variants that define their width. When changing the cell width, the text override on the component inside the cell is being reset.

I just wanted to mention also that, exposing properties from nested instanced in Parent 1 didn’t solve this issue.

This was not an issue when I created and started using these components which was about 10 months ago.
I was only made aware of the issue starting about a month or so ago.

We could change the Cell width variant that was nested inside a default table row and it would completely preserve the text override and / or component swap inside the Cell
