Component instances with text style override resets when using property panel

After removing bold/underline styles in our design system (due to the text style override update), we’ve noticed an issue:

In a main component with a non-bold text style:

  1. Apply bold formatting and a text property.
  2. Create an instance.
  3. Changing text via the property panel resets bold formatting.

However, editing text on the canvas preserves the bold weight.

Is this bug being tracked or expected?

Can someone from Figma file this bug, or please let me know if this is expected? It’s a blocker for us from removing bold text styles in our DS.

An update: I have opened a request with Figma support. They were able to reproduce the problem and have escalated it to the engineering team for further investigation. As soon as they provide an update, I will post it here.

Hi, i’m seeing the exact same issue where using the property panel to edit text in an instance removes underline.

Having the same issue, bold or underlined text losing the styling when using the property panel to edit the text, hope the team can fix this bug otherwise it looks like we’re adding more styles to the design system

Hello, here’s an update: Figma sent me a response a while ago.

Hi Demian,

Our engineering team have also confirmed that this is a bug - however I want to be transparent with you that this will not have an immediate resolution as we need more time to investigate this.

For now as a workaround, changing the weight instead via the style picker in the Design Panel, should avoid this issue:

While I can’t promise a quick fix, please know that our engineering team is aware of the issue and will work towards finding a solution in the future. We appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter.

If you have any follow up questions or want to check on progress, just reply here and the conversation will re-open so we can give you a hand.

Thanks again for your help here and for your patience while the team continues investigating.

Best Regards,

Technical Quality Specialist
