Hi, I am trying to make a dropdown component, using “text property” and the problem appears when I use an instance of my component and change the text in the component… It cannot access the text changes I have made UNLESS I have the dropdown open from the beginning ( which is not desirable). Is this a bug or does anyone know how to fix this?
See prototype to see my problem! / Johanna 
thanks for your reply! The variants differ in structure so I guess I should follow your recommendations in your last comment. I do have default and hover in the list to the right but it doesn’t seem to work anyway? Or have I done something wrong?
(see pic below)
Hidden instances of the “rader” component must be inside the “Frame 178” variant of the “DROPDOWN” component set.
hmm… I think I have that? or do you mean something else with “hidden instances”, than being able to switch between hover/default in the menu to the right?
And, do you have any recommendations for a youtube clip where someone is solving this problem, or a link to a figma file where I can understand how its built? thank you so much for your time and help, appreciate it!
You are displaying the properties of another component.
See example:
