Expose shared properties of all instances of the same component in a group, frame, or nested in a component like multi-select

Current Behavior
Selecting multiple instances of the same component allows changing the same property across all instances:

As soon as that same selection is put into a group or frame, the shared properties are lost:

Nesting these components in another component allows exposing properties, but only from each nested component instance individually, not collectively:


Requested Behavior
In the case of groups or frames that contain only instances of the same component, I would like the properties to be displayed the same way as they are in the multiselect case, like this:

When exposing properties of nested components, I would like the option of exposing the properties of a type of nested component (which would apply to all components of that type) in addition to the current behavior of exposing an individual instance’s properties. Something like this:

If there are multiple types of components nested, each type could be exposed either as a group or individually, like so:

Thanks for your consideration!

Thanks so much for the detail feedback @Michelle_Turcotte – I just sent this post over to the team that works on our design system for them to review.

I can’t speak on what changes may happen (or when they will be implemented, if there are any), but do appreciate you taking the time to send this over 😃
