Hi Figma, after some digging, I’ve found that changing the value of a string variable doesn’t work on text with multiple styles. For example, let’s say I have a paragraph variable set to “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet” and use it in a design with the default style. Then, I apply an underlined style specifically to “sit amet.”
When I change the value of the variable, the design doesn’t update, except if I first manually reset the whole paragraph to the default style, and then reapply the value from the variable. Voila! Changing the variable works again.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue, or am I missing something? Is there a better approach to styling paragraphs when, for instance, I want to apply a hyperlink style to a portion of the text?
