Hi folks! I’ve seen the posts regarding text overrides with nested interactive components but I’m seeing a similar issue with non-interactive components as well.
In the example below, I’ve set my text layers to all use the same layer name and have the same hierarchy structure but if I swap one of the nested components it resets everything. Everything works perfectly if each atom component is used individually and not nested in another component though so I’m left 🤔. Any thoughts?
I think this is similar to an issue I was having with interactive components, but in any case try using the new Slots feature Figma just released! It fixed it for me! Instead of nesting a component into another, create a slot in the parent component.
this is still an issue - I’m making a component which is a grid of cards, and have created instance swap properties at the grid level to swap out different card types. No matter what I do I cannot make the headline text carry over between instance swaps - even though if I swap card types outside of a component (directly on the canvas) it works.Â
Figma doesn’t currently seem to be able to handle the level of instance nesting that’s required to make a really complex system actually fully responsive and usable.
