Today I just opened my project and noticed in the design panel the “Content” group for text is missing. I can edit the text by double clicking on the object though. Since this option is missing, I cannot create properties for components.
However, when I select a component I made earlier and created a property for it, the content group is now visible in the design tab/panel. If I break the link, then the content group disappears!
I’m not sure if there are any other groups missing for other shape, frame or drawing tools!
Notes:
This happens in all projects.
I’ve tried reloading the tabs to no avail.
I’ve tried both web and desktop app, same issue.
Everything was working when I shut down last night and no updates have occured.
Adding text to a new page gives the same no “Content” group in the design tab
Any ideas or anyone else affected?
EDIT:
When working on the master component, I can break the link now and the “Content” group is now visible in the design tab, however, it is NOT working on a standard text object on the page:
A component’s text property can only be added in the main component (by selecting the component itself or its nested layer (but not the nested layer in another component instance)). And judging by your screenshots, the selected text layer is not a nested component layer.
You can also hover over this purple bubble with the “question mark” icon for more details.
I am experiencing the exact same problem. The “content” part on the right design panel is just missing. And what’s funny is that I encountered it while learning about properties in the official Figma Component properties playground Even here it is not working
So the content text box is only available in the right panel if you are working on a main component? I’d vote for this to be available on any text layer, this tool simplifies editing multiple layers at once. I don’t see any reason to limit access to it.
Hello everybody! Just had the same issue and I found where the link is “hidden”
Steps:
Create component
Add text field to the component
Add text property to the component
Select aforementioned text field where you’ll find the “Apply text property” button.
Select the property you want to attach from the dropdown presented to you after clicking that button
There’s a screenshot showing the property in the bottom right corner of the “Text” section of the text field:
Hope this helps!
Even here it is not working
