Question

Conflicting property values


Mads_Maarup

I have an issue with my library, I cant push updates on buttons because I have a Conflicting property value but I got no idea where this “conflict” is.

Can somebody help me?

When you have a component with variants, this error will show up when trying to publish because there is more than one variant with the same property name.

How do I fix this?

I was told to uninstall local copies of the font, and anyone who is accessing the file who uses the same font to also remove local copies. Not sure if enterprise solves this with the font syncing, but for other plans you’ll want to ensure they’re all using the same font files to avoid issues.

Hi there! I’m having the same issue and when I look at the conflicting variables, I see no issues. I’m having conflicts between two input fields, one made for desktop and one made for mobile (the only difference is the input’s height):

Notice how the first property is different from each other:

Hey @Mads_Maarup! Just wanted to give you (and everyone else here) a heads up that this has been addressed in our recent update.

Hey I know that this was apparently fixed in Nov 21, but I’m still having the issue right now in a component that has no conflicts. The issue only reared its head when I removed a duplicate property and cleaned everything up.

Figma complains that there are conflicts on every variant of the component but there are zero conflicts. I’ve manually gone through each variation and verified this. Quite infuriating.

Might be a bit to late for the party but had a similar issue. Resolved it by changing the titel of the component with the variables to the correct values, then copies appeared with the old value. No clue if they were already there or not but they weren’t selected with the initial “Select conflicting variables” so I think those were ghost components.

Just deleted those, readjusted the values in the title of the component and now it works. If I had to guess this is an issue related to saving to the cloud.

This was helpful.
Check the Error Notification on the Variant panel > Click on

“Select Conflicting Variant”

and kaboom it took me to the variant which had conflicting properties.

Note: it selected 3 Variant, but the error was only on 1 of them, so please check all the variants which are selected.

I was having the same issue and went through each layer and noticed that I had somehow duplicated a variant and they were stacked one on top of another. Just another thing to look out for.

In case anyone is having this issue even after removing duplicates and ensuring that there are no actual conflicting property values (as I was), reload the tab by right clicking on the tab name and selecting “Reload Tab”.

Hello peoples, I still have this problem, I have variants that are certainly different, but the problem persists from Desktop to Mobile and from Large to Medium, there is always a conflict that I cannot resolve

I have similar issue with current Variants while working on Icons. See SS attached
3. Advance Input System (Part 2)-Error_2022-07-08.

Advise Needed!


Katharina_Clasen

Wow, why didn’t I check for this? Thank you so much! This was EXACTLY my problem. And I was like: “Conflicting Variants? Everything is correct!” But if you don’t check for a duplicate stacked on top of it, you will never find the error 😊


Thanks a lot!
I had the same issue. I checked my property names and they were all the same. I had to give them different names.

I’m having the same issue, but none of the solutions seem to be working. Here is copy of the file. Can anyone see what I am overlooking?

Hey @Nicole_Coleman, thank you for reaching out!

The following article explains this error: Add properties and values

All variants within the component set will use the same properties and values, but each variant needs to be a unique combination of them.

If any variants have the exact same combination of values, Figma will let you know that there is a conflict. You’ll see this error even if the variants themselves are visually different.

To resolve this issue, you’ll need to add or update the values of the affected variants, so they have a unique combination of values.

Please let me know me know if there is still any issues after trying the above.

Thanks in advance!


Nicole_Coleman

Thank you. As far as I can tell and have repeatedly checked, each variant is a unique combination, which is why I can’t figure out the issue.

But the error says the opposite. I also checked your file and immediately found conflicting variants (with non-unique property values).

In the screenshot below, all conflicting variants are selected:


Nicole_Coleman

Okay, I did overlook a couple. But not all of them were conflicts. The others I was able to drag out of the component set and back in and that seemed to fix the error. Thanks for taking a look.


In my case I forgot I hid original variants via the visibility action (eye icon) instead of deleting them.
