Interactive Components Bugs

I think there is a bug with text overrides of an element inside a variant when interact with it. In this example, the tab text change with no reason.

See the video herere Figtabs - YouTube

And the file in case you need it.

I’m having the same problem a year later. No solution?

@Alberto_de_la_Puente, in your example, there is a redefinition of the text due to the same names of tab instances and a different order in each variant. The solution is to rename your tab instances, eg: t1, t2, t3. Thus, overrides will be inherited by instance names.

@Manuel21, could you share an example?

I fixed it by changing layer names. I find it bizarre that this IMPORTANT part is not mentioned in any of the tutorials out there…
