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.

    Stop reviewing now, develop it !!!

    That this doesn't work costs me a lot of work every day, especially on projects with a lot of repetitive but slightly different elements. This needs to be fixed urgently. Currently, I am looking for alternative solutions for this reason, among others.

    Not having this feature implemented yet is embarrassing. It's been nearly two years since this was requested and quite frankly its lack makes this app unusable. This should have been the default behavior from the very beginning.

    This is the single most painful hole in the XD experience. I have 5 states on all my buttons and the app I'm working at the moment has a LOT of buttons. In many cases, those buttons also have a leading icon.

    Multiply this by five:
    1. Change the text
    2. Swap the icon component
    3. Recolor the icon component (because it forgets the color override)
    4. Resize the icon component (because it forgets the size override)
    5. Switch to the next state

    Component states are cool, but you pretty much hate them once you have a large app prototype up and running and you keep finding states you overlooked in your late night cram session.

    Frankly, it's embarrassing that this feature hasn't been implemented yet. 100% crucial for a usable product design tool.

    Can't wait this missing and essential feature! Please do it!

  • Jake Spillar commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please stop reviewing this feature and just do it already

  • Patrick commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is fundamental for any product design tool. Looking forward to having this.

    This missing feature could singlehandedly make me leave XD

  • Duke commented  ·   ·  Report

    Mind boggling omission really

  • Jeff.g commented  ·   ·  Report

    Still desperately hoping this feature gets released soon, so adding my voice to the masses. Thanks!

    Upvote! What's the point in creating a design system full of components if you have to redo every button state anyway?

  • PjO commented  ·   ·  Report

    Using components in a repeat grid and updating text by dragging a text file on it would also help, INCLUDING passing through to all states within the component.

  • Matthi commented  ·   ·  Report

    Frustrating AF. Get it on, guys, we pay you enough money for this.

  • Ed Aranda commented  ·   ·  Report

    If this doesn't get addressed in the next release I'm going to lose my f*!@ing mind. States are completely useless without this functionality.

  • Felipe commented  ·   ·  Report

    This is so essential! I want one master button in many instance colors each one with it's own inherited state. Like this it all has to be done manually, it's so hard compared to Sketch!

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    Agreed, this is so close to. The default state auto resizes great, but then having to go through and rechange the size on the hover state background for EACH layer in a chart is painful.

  • Gavin Stokes commented  ·   ·  Report

    There is a lot of small stuff in XD that really stacks up the more you use it...and this one just kills me, I've an input box with 4 states, not including the default...I have to scale each state, that's just nuts. Can we get this fixed, simple check box or something

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Report

    when resizing complex component with states only the active state is resized.
