    Do the Adobe development team actually listen to what their customers have to say?

    I’ve seen people request the time trigger be added to component states over a year ago!

      Hey there. Time triggers are currently not supported for component states. Only for artboard transitions and lottie/video files.

       

      However, I learned a nice trick from Drew Solorio on the Adobe Xd discord server. Basically you can use an empty 1 frame long lottie file in a component, and use its time trigger to switch between component states. You add a time trigger to the lottie file and for the delay put in after how much time you want to switch. Then add a second trigger "End of playback", which can auto-animate or transition to a different state, or even artboard.

       

       

      I've created a sample file in which I've made an endless loop between 3 states using that workaround.
