Repeat Grid overrides / inheritance (some styles differ in an item, rest still sync with other list items)

It will be great if repeat grid work in way like this:

I want to show how recommended item will look like. I'm double-clicked wished element title and turn off "Fill" checkbox in "Inherit" panel. Now I can change color only for this title, but if I will change font-size, for example, all titles will change it, because "font-size" checkbox is active. If I click "Fill" again, my title will be back to gray.

All checkbox is active by default — so behavior will be just like now and it will take full control and understanding what and when happens.

    Any progress on this?

    Why does Adobe expect every grid to look exactly alike?

  • Nikhil Kumar Singh commented  ·   ·  Report

    Just ungroup grid by right click on Repeat grid on the layer section and you can change the style of individual
    items.

    You've got component states and local overrides. Clearly, this behavior is expected in repeat grids as well.

    This feature request has been around since the early days when I first tried to struggle my way through XD. How can this not be implemented yet?

    Another "almost there" core XD feature, 6 years on.

    When I create a repeating grid, it is possible that I can change individual entries from the content. However, it is not possible to adjust the formatting of individual elements such as font color or font style.
    Adjusting color or style is also not possible when I select only one word in a text box. It is always the complete text that is adjusted. Unfortunately, this is not practical and is a hindrance in professional work.

    Yeah! This would be amazing. I have to deal with lots of tables, and being able to make zebra tables without ungrouping my repeat list would be amazing.

    On large scale projects, the "make the first item a component" is not an effective solution. For instance, simple color changes on repeated items affects all other list items.

    I have needed this feature many times because the manual overlaying is very cumbersome. +1

    Repeat grid can be overridden by making first element as component

  • Chris Ryland commented  ·   ·  Report

    It seems to me that there’s a really big missing feature of repeat groups: the ability to have a repeat grid member that is a complex structure, and not just a text or graphic whose contents can be enumerated in advance.

    E.g., suppose one member of a repeat grid is a bar chart, with several elements (bars, labels). There’s no way to produce a set of variants in the repeat grid because the whole chart isn’t a simple text or graphic object.

    I realize this would be a big architectural change to XD, but it would greatly increase the power of repeat grids.

    Components are great, with the ability to change styles inside a local instance.
    It would be great to enable the same overrides inside repeat grids.

    Currently we can change text and images inside each line of a repeat grid, but if we change the color of a text (or a shape) inside a specific line of a grid, it will change for the whole grid.

    It would be great to be able to change text style and colors inside a specific line of a repeat grid.

    The reason the shadow gets cut is because you are not allowing for margins, include a style-less box around your content, the shadow WILL appear :)

  • Rafael Silva commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes, it's missing this. I end up not using repeat grid because I have to manually make these overrides.
    These proprieties and layer visibility overrides are a must in repeat grids and symbols, at least for me.

    Repeat grid has so much potential and yet it undelivers time and time again because it's simply missing some usability upgrades. Come on Adobe, help us out here!

  • Sander commented  ·   ·  Report

    It is extremely annoying when you have a couple of items out of the ordinary and you suddenly can't use a repeat grid anymore because everything changes with it.
