Hi.
Since few weeks, I’m facing a really annoying bug in the components system.
I created a cell item component. There are around 40 different variants depending on the size of the cell (small/wide) and its content (text 1 line, text 2 lines, image, icon, checkbox, and so on).
Then, I created a list item component which is a list of cell item instances, ordered in line to make…a list item. This component is made of 9 instances of the cell component.
All of this is exported in the library I use in all the projects.
The bug is the following:
I create an instance of the list item object, to create a list specific to my need
then, I select a cell instance of the list item instance and I change the variant
The bug is instead of changing the variant of the selected cell only, Figma changes the variant of all cells.
This has worked flawlessly for months. And since few weeks it doesn’t, as explained here above.
The workaround I’ve found is to create a list item instance, and detach the instance. And then, I can change the cells instances without problem. But it’s far from being perfect.
As eveything is better with an example, I’ve taken a moment to extract the necessary elements to reproduce the problem.
To reproduce:
Create an instance of the list component
In this list instance, try to change the variant of a cell
TADA! All cells have seen their variant changed as well.
If I move the default variant off the list component (which is similar to remove the variant and properties which exist in my real design system), the problem is gone.
Ok, I don’t see how to do this. Figma tells me to move the move in a project. I did this, but I still can’t give you the rights to edit. Pretty cryptic to me.
I posted those files in starter, free, plan. Does this mean I can’t share for edition?
Hi there, I only read his comment, which he wanted to give edit access, Didn’t check yours which wanted copy, share …
by saying starter plan the err message looked like that the file was in draft.
to my knowledge starters in draft can give only view access
Haha this is so convoluted… Restricting copying access is a paid feature, so you can’t do it in a free team. If you move the file back to where it was created (your Professional/Education team), you should see the checkmark.
