Can't create text property on text layer in a component

[Namon_Bills]

In the past, I would create a component, and then could select the individual text layers to add text properties to them. As of yesterday, when I create a component, I can only apply text properties by creating them on the component, and then selecting the text layer and applying the property. This is a lot slower than my previous workflow.

Is this a bug? Is this intended functionality as part of an update? Is the ability to create text properties directly on text layers still there and I’m just missing it?

Thanks for your help!

Yeah, what happened here?? This changed?

Hey there! Niko from Figma here.

Sorry for the confusion. The component property workflows now follow the variables workflows; You can create a new property by clicking on the plus button when picking a variable or property for the text content.

Hope that helps!
