Can't change text colour inside shapes

I can’t seem to change text colour inside shapes. I only get the option to change the background. The only way I was able to get it to work was to create a separate text layer change the colour there and then paste it inside the shape text area.

I can’t believe that its been 3 years since this was mentioned and Figma still can’t do something as basic as changing the font colour of text inside a shape.

What’s the point of creating flow diagrams with light background colours if the font colour is going to be white and you can’t see the text. This is like the most basic functionality. The product manager for FigJam should be fired. I’m sorry this is just an epic fail. I’m going back to Miro.
