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.

Maybe I just need a 3rd coffee or I’ve officially gone nuts! 😎

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 😅

Could you show a screenshot showing the left and right panels when the text layer is selected?

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:

1. Create component


2. Add text field to the component


3. Add text property to the component


4. Select aforementioned text field where you’ll find the “Apply text property” button.


5. 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!

omg, THANK YOU 🥰

Thank you!

THANKS!!! 😀

@Lachezar_Zahariev I would like to kiss you on your forehead! lmaoo thank you!

I am having the same problem in Figma’s new UI3, I would include some screenshots.

Also the same thing happens for Icons in the main component with the appearance, I did it before but today it is not working.

Same issue here. Been experiencing it all day

It seems like a glitch; try resetting your workspace or updating your software. A digital design agency can help troubleshoot advanced design panel issues if the problem persists!

If you’ve lost the text property option, here’s how to find it: what was “content” for text-based props has now been moved at the top in the sidebar (when you select some text inside a component).

By default the property icon isn’t visible anymore, you see it ONLY if you hover near the area of the text, e.g. near “Label” text in Megzon_Mullahasani screenshot. Then you can click it and set it up as usual.

It’s unbelievable how bad the new UI is

so whoever tried for looking to set property for the text, when you click the text some of them not able to see both content on both
