Hi there, I have a problem with creating and applying a boolean property.

I have a button that is created with nested components. I create a boolean property on the top level of a component to show an icon-only button variant. Still, when I want to apply it to the variants, it’s not visible there so I get an error that says the property is not used within a component. Does anybody have a similar problem? Screenshots attached.

I found a different solution - in my case, instead of boolean property, It can be done by applying a true/false variant.

I have the same question/problem. The issue is that there is no intuitive way of applying the boolean property to a variant.
If there’s a help article for how to use this please can you add the link to it?
