P: Layer Comps that remember Layer Comps within Smart Objects

I love using smart objects in conjunction with layer comps.
The ability to embed external smart objects and define their layer comp in the properties is genius!
The one thing that is missing though is the ability for layer comps of the host psd file to also record the state of the external smart object layer comp properties.

Example:
Create a psd document.
Create a smart object from a layer. (I used a simple shape)
Double click the smart object to open it.
Create 2 year comps within the web object document. Make sure to give them different names.
modify layer style for each layer comp. (2 different colors via layer style works well)
save and close.
go back to host document where the smart object resides.
create 2 layer comps.
select the smart object layer and change its layer comp from within the layer properties panel dropdown menu.
Update the current layer comp of the main document (host)
switch back and forth between the 2 layer comps.
notice that the smart object does not change.

Expected result should be that the layer comp properties would update based on layer comps.

I hope this makes sense. Sorry for the long winded post! whew...

I would find it very useful if Layer Comps could store/recall the selected layer comps of linked smart objects. This seems like a natural evolution of these advanced features. Any plans for such functionality?

Adobe Photoshop team doesn't care about ui designers.

Hopefully Comet will be able to do something like this, when it comes out.

Or maybe it's time to try something new.

I also assumed this was possible until I tried to do it. Adobe please add this!

BTW, the work around for this is to duplicate the linked smart object in your parent doc. Then change the states of each smart object's layer comps as desired and toggle the visibility with the parent doc's layer comps. Seems silly, since the purpose of this is supposed to be to make things simpler, but at least you get different states...

i just wasted an hour setting up a project assuming this of course would work. I can't believe they bothered to support layer comps within smart objects and not let the parent doc's layer comps control these. What's the point otherwise? I mean who is going to take the trouble to set up layer comps in a smart object and NOT layer comps in the parent doc? I just don't see the utility of this feature without doing this?

Please make this work photoshop...please!

I suggested the same 8 months ago:

A lot of people have been requesting this. I'm still hoping it will come soon, but haven't heard anything 😞

I second this idea, it would be incredibly useful.
For web design I save buttons as smart objects and use the layer comps within it to set different states of it (like active, hover, loading etc...)

If the main psd in wich I am designing my website layout (and in which I am placing said button) has different layer comps as well (for different pages, like "home", "contacts" etc...) I could set a different state for the button in each of those, easily simulating the behavior of menu buttons in the mock up.
