[Design]-Components with nested child components are not working in XD 26.

Question

I love the new padding feature but the components appear to have been broken in the process. (I've only tested this on Mac.)
 
To reproduce the bug:

Create a component like a "button" outside of any page (background shape with text on top)
Use that component to create a button bar of 5 buttons,
Save the "button bar" as a component outside of any pages, too
Create 5 pages and put an instance of the button bar component on all 5 pages
Now link button 1 in the master component to page 1, button 2 to page 2, etc.
Notice that none of the links you created are actually working on any of the pages.

The only way to get these links on the pages is to copy the component from the Prototype tab and paste it on all the pages. Then if you make any changes to the master component you have to delete all the instances and repaste the component. And if you changed each of the buttons to an "active" state on each of the pages, you have to redo that, too. 
 
This is a real pain and worked perfectly in the last release.
Please fix ASAP.

Why have you dropped this? Have you tried to understand and reproduce the bug that I pointed out since I've provided more clarification for you?

Hi there,

I went through the document you shared and had the follwing observations for which you are facing the linking issue.

Observations: You have created button1 as the master component and for all other components you have created instances of the same button. Also you have created the button bar using the instances of button 1(component). Due to which, when you are linking the buttons (of the button bar which is also a component) to their respective pages it is not working for the button bar in the pages.

Solution:

1. Create 4 components of the 4 buttons (as all four will be linked to different pages)

2. Create the button bar using the instances of the four buttons and make it a component

3. Create 4 artboards

4. Add instances of the button bar to each of the four pages

5. In the assets panel, right click on button1 and select edit in master component

6. It will get directed to button 1, in the prototype mode link button 1(master component) to page 1 and do the same with all other buttona and pages

7. Now, you will be able to see that all the buttons in all the pages are linked to their respective pages.

Hope it solves your problem.

Thanks & Regards,

Jagriti Kashyap
