Question

Prototype Settings not working as expected when copied into another file


Manuel5

hi there,

I’m working with the Design system and separate file for the wireframes.

I’ve created a component set for 3 chips holding 3 different values including a default and hover state. I also created 3 corresponding tooltips.

What I want to achieve is a hover on 1 chip → change from default to hover → show tooltip underneath chip while hover.

I created two interactions:

  1. default chip → while hover → change to → hover chip + while hover → open overlay → tooltip

  2. while hovering ->c change to default chip = close overlay

The prototype works as expected in the design system component when testing BUT not in the Figma fiel with wireframes. It’s behaving like below and doesn’t open the tooltip but just flickers. If I copy this wireframe into the Design system Figma file it works again and the tooltip opens and the chip goes into hover state when hovering over. I have synced the libraries, so there shouldn’t be a problem.

below a gif with the error one

Hey @Manuel5, I am not quite sure here, let me ask internally if the team has any suggestions!

Could you let me know if this is happening in the browser, desktop app or both?

Can you clear out the cache. Here are some information to troubleshoot: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/360040523973-Troubleshooting-checklist 1

Also please try to force-quit and open Figma in a new browser window (or force-quit the Figma Desktop app and restart it.)

Hi Gayani,

I’m using the latest desktop version on MacOS Silicon.

I emptied the cache and restarted the app but having the same issue… but I noticed the following

design Figma file → wireframe with prototype in any page → prototype not working
design system Figma file → wireframe with prototype in any other page than the one with the components and prototype settings → prototype not working
design system Figma file → wireframe with prototype in same page as the components and prototype settings → prototype working as expected
