Question

Color variable is stuck in icon instance


Alice_Holm

I’ve been experiencing this issue with some of my new icons with color variables. When I create a new icon and add the default color variable to it (all layers are named the same), and want to change the color in a selected or hover state of a component, some icons in component instances are not changing color when changing the state of the component. It also doesn’t want to swap, detach or remove it. Is this a bug? Anyone else with the same issue?

In the recording I have changed the state of the tab item to selected, and the icon should be black/“neutral”, but it is stuck on the default color of the icon (“neutral-subdued”)

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. I’m trying to identify if it’s a bug and asking internally too, but would you be able to share the file link with access to support-share@figma.com? It won’t affect your billing. I hope I can investigate it further.

Thanks,
Toku

@y_toku I’ve shared both files now, named “Web components Library”, where you can find the tabs to test and “Foundations Library” where the icons are.

Thank you!
