Allow component instance overrides to be inherited by all states
Currently (XD 24.0.22.19), if I drop an instance of a component and then adjust part of it (text in a button, size of the instance, etc.), that override is only applied to the selected state of the instance. So, if I have a button with many states (normal, hover, disabled, active, default action, etc.) I have to manually apply that override to each state of the instance. This is extremely tedious and error prone.
Please provide the ability to have an override of an instance be inherited by all states in that component instance.

It is truly unbeleivable how this has not yet been added. It makes handling components an everyday pain, wasting a lot of time. Maybe if XD team was forced to actually work with their software, they would start prioritizing things such as these.

Not having this makes components completely useless for buttons, input fields, and many other things. This alone will drive me away from XD.

Our team converted from using Sketch to Adobe XD, and this specific aspect was handled SO MUCH BETTER on Sketch.
Components states are pretty much useless if you have to manually edit each of them with new text whenever a button has a different label. -

Can we add this as a toggle on each layer inside of the component group? Then you can control which elements you want to remain linked to the default state and which should be overridden by changes in the child states.

Yeah this is so cumbersome that I eventually decided to only use all component states once in a document.
Please fix this. -

Come on Adobe - This is very basic to build and adds 300% to product experience!

This is definitely THE missing feature on XD. Please Adobe make something.

The amount of "we don't care" on the Adobe side is too damn high! :D

What's the status of this feature? Please add it! It's such a needed one. This would make sense as an optional feature for components.

It's very important to go faster creating components and states for buttons, menu, etc...

Cringeworthy to see community managers replying to https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd-discussions/feature-request-states-do-not-inherit-component-instance-default-state-modifications/td-p/10720718/page/6 marking it as fixed in 2019 but also telling users "it's in the works" whilst such a rudimentary feature is still missing 3 years later.

Very challenging to create large website Design system without this functionality.

These overrides are a basic feature needed for prototyping. In large projects, with lots of components with many states, XD really reduces our productivity. Fixing all the states all the time is a nightmare!

AGREED! Sticking with Figma until this is fixed. (But would love to stay in the Adobe family :( )

Please fix this ASAP. Huge time-suck. This is going to push many designers to use other products like Figma.

This is the single biggest time suck in XD and I'm sad to say it makes Sketch look incredibly enticing.
I can't believe this has been a request for 1.5 years and nothing's happened. That's pretty scary peeps.
