Are there going to be setter APIs?

Interactive Components Beta Questions
#1

I am trying to automate the interaction creating process since the variant hyper-inflation is again beyond my ability to help atm, I feel like this is the least I could/should do for our lovely community, so that people won’t have to repetitively re-create the same interactions again and again for most of their variants.

Are there going to be setter APIs for prototype-reaction{ action: Action, trigger: Trigger } related properties?

Need the setter API for this badly, please consider this, love you Figma :heart:

I love the new features, super excited to see them finally being released to the public, so the problem I could think of atm is simply this: when people started creating uncountable numbers of variants(main components), say that you roll out a new feature to solve the repetitive problem later on, how are people going to shrink their library down, by then, without making all already-instantiated instances wild pointers?

Let’s say when you need:
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 3 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 4 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 5 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 6 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 7 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 8 items
❖ An interactive mutually exclusive radio group with 9 items

❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 3 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 4 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 5 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 6 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 7 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 8 items
❖ An interactive vertical mutually exclusive radio group with 9 items

without having to create hundreds of thousands of mostly identical variants + identical interactions on each variant (with the destination being the only difference)

Ahh just saw your other post in feedback. Might be good to link to it here.
