Nested property hidden with multiple selection

+1 on that. Come on Figma!

Variables and components are still so far from good. We need simple fixes like this, not completely new under-baked features

I would like to be able to select several copies of a component and be able to adjust their nested instance properties, simultaneously. It’s possible to adjust the properties of multiple instances of a component, when these properties are “native” to the component. But we cannot interact with the nested instances properties. This means I in some cases have to turn on a nested instance property one product card at a time, which very tedious.

Hi, duplicate of this thread.

Thanks

Coming up against this in my build for tables and menus. Really bad experience for designers trying to bulk update anything with nested instances (like table columns)

This thread and that one should be merged.

Bump! Desperately need this. This is such a logical use case I had assumed I was doing something wrong with my file, and desperate googling brought me here. Frustrating :frowning_face:

@dvaliao can you remove the “solution” here, since this is not fixed and not a solve?

Thanks, Ian! I removed the marked solution and merged the topics together, as suggested by Antoine.

But just to reiterate, the team is already aware of this feature request, but right now, allowing for this ability would cause major performance issues.

While it’s on their radar, they cannot prioritize it at this time. The team here will keep an eye on votes to gauge how this is affecting the overall community to hopefully vouch and make a better case for prioritization in the future.

+1. It’s very importance if I choose to organize my components with lots of nests.

Please fix this!

Please fix this huge gap. It’s so hard to implement design while working on large design systems and their master components.

This is a crucial feature to be able to use nested instances when we select multiple masters

Please look into this :pray:

Hey, this is a needed feature! It kind of defeats the purpose of nested properties if you can’t view/edit them when selecting multiple components.

This feature is indeed really necessary and I hope we will get it soon!

I really need this too. I have a component, which is a table composed of columns and data-cells. Each data-cell comp has its properties, so if I need to change all the cells of one column, I have to do it for EACH cell.
It’s really frustrating.
Please take a look here Figma team. :pray:
