Bug with using variables to determine component instance visibility


Jon High

I’m having issues when using prototype interactions to trigger boolean variables in order to toggle layer visibility on a component instance. This only appears to be on component instances as opposed to normal layers/frames, as when I detach an instance, the layer visibility toggle appears to work again.

 

Not sure if this has been impacted due to the recent updates to variable collections.

I also experienced the same thing. 2 days ago it seemed fine, now it won't work at all even if the components are detached.

Hey both - apologies that this is kind of late, but are either of you able to share the file[s] you’re seeing this on? 

It’s unfortunately hard to tell what the root cause -- it could be an update we made, but I’m not equipped on my end personally to dig into this.

Could you both fill out this form *and* share the files with support-share@figma.com? Support can take a look directly, and give you further guidance: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374

Note: The support-share email is the official account we use to review file details only, and you won’t be charged for this. Please fill out the form first, and include the name of the file you’ve shared in the details to expedite the convo.

Thank you!
