I created a component, with some variant and properties.
This component is then used in a Buzz template. This is then used to create social media assets. 
 

When I first copy-past the component into the Buzz template file, the properties are here (all of them), and as soon as I publish the templates, they di (see attached screenshots).
Also, the nested properties work perfectly.

This is weird, is there anything I’m doing wrong, I don’t get it.

And I also noticed, that basically I cannot add Variant properties in a Buzz file, it just doesn’t work. Maybe there is a bug on and that is why it removes my orignal properties ?

 

 

Hi ​@Simeon1, thanks for reaching out! 

We sent this over to the Figma Buzz team, and they confirmed that this is currently a product limitation.

It works before you publish the designs as a template because Buzz can still recognize the connection to the original library. However, once you publish as a template, we lose the connection to that library, so the feature no longer works.

We definitely feel your frustration though. This is definitely on our team’s roadmap to make variants meaningful in Figma Buzz. In the meantime, they’re considering adding a warning label during publishing or possibly pasting all variants into Buzz, if we detect you’re using a component containing variants. Would that help in the interim? 

For now, I’ve updated your topic into a feature request, so we can gauge how this is affecting the overall community.
