Feature Request-States do not inherit component instance default state modifications

Community Beginner ,
Nov 07, 2019 Nov 07, 2019

Hi, so the scenario is as follows:

  1. You make a button template component, that has a body shape with fill and border, and a text label.
  2. For that component you add a state - let's say Hover, but any state works the same
  3. You make an instance of the component. You adjust the button width and change the button's label (standard component usecase I suppose?)
  4. You test the hover effect: of course the interaction is applied, but the instance adjustments were not inherited in any way for the instance's states - on hover the button's label changes back to the default placeholder, and the button auto-animates to the master's size.

I suppose the solution is to apply instance modifications to each of the instance's states separately, but that seems like something the component feature should address rather than require the user to do manually for every element.

The new states feature has been especially disappointing with an ongoing app design, where I already have most of the design system established. It was initially logical to me that I could add a Hover state to the component's master and all the instances, across the artboards in the entire prototype would "simply" inherit it, but alas - I found they only show the master's state on hover. Needed to undo all of that since it basically broke the prototype for any kind of use, and I definietely do not have the time to go instance-by-instance and apply all the component edits again.

 

Unless I missed something and am doing this wrong.

Hi All -

 

Apologies for the inconvenience around the effort required to manually change states in component instances.

 

We're actively working on addressing this issue so that changes made to the Default State in an instance would propagate to other states within that instance.

 

Stay Tuned.

 

Thanks,

Sherif

😪 I and my team have given up. We're testing Figma now. I have to say that—among other things—Figma has nailed it! It's like heaven and hell. I hope we won't go back to the Adobe Xd… That ship has sailed sank.

As sad as it is, I'm also currently moving to Figma, I get the part that Adobe made bad choice in development. I feel like I did a bad choice starting my learning curve on Adobe XD and now had to start again with Figma, but, well.. is what it is. So far, great tool.

Adobe has invested a lot in this product, so they wouldn't ditch it. It is their only specialized UI / UX tool. It's a growing field, so no - they won't quit on it.

 

The problem is some bad decisions were made at the beginning of the product's development. Building it on UWP being one of them, along with the "touch friendliness" and other useless trends. They started going back on some, like adding back the top menu for Windows, but the tool is still riddled with inconsistencies and bugs. I imagine they will have to re-write a lot of code from scratch, to fix everything and make it the powerhouse it should've been from the start. Text engine comes to mind - it's been broken on Windows for 3 years now and it is far too limited for a design tool.

 

There's also other factors - the covid situation has impacted the dev team and company employees, which has likely slowed things down this and last year. The last meaningful update was with the semi-working component states in November 2019. After that it's been small features and patches, with just as many bugs. It's hard sticking to schedules with less people, and they are probably forced to release "something", hence the smaller updates and bugs. 

 

It will take some time until they are fully back on track. In contrast - Figma is browser based, so they don't need to invest as much resources and develop for multiple platforms at the same time.

So empty promises?

Please fix this instead of working on stupid voice-command features that no one uses.

Fixing the product should be a number 1 priority instead of adding ridiculous things.

How do you event select features did some intern come up with that s***, and the board was just baffled by the randomness? This is exactly why people are moving to another solution.

Dear Adobe — Can you PLEASE put this as the #1 priority on your backlog? Thank you.

 

This problem alone made me switch to Sketch for my current project.

Wow... just wow... 

 

I come from Figma and wanted to use Illustrator. Convinced the team to take the full application plan so we could start using XD only to find out a rather simple function is requested by many but never developed. I could write this feature in a day, it's only keeping track of references and keeping the content of the references in sync. Nov 2019 "we're actively working on addressing this issue". July 2021: still nothing. If I'd take 2 years to develop a rather simple feature, I'd want to quit my job.

 

How can this not be a priority? The whole point of a application like XD is fast UI development, if I wanted to copy my changes to different states I might as well use Illustrator. 

 

That being said, I'll switch back to Figma with saddens me as I've been a fan of Adobe since Illustrator 8 because it's ease of use, intuitivity and sharing objects between applications. Saidly we pay for all the random features, voice-command whaat?, that are never used and have to wait for deal-breaking features.

I wasn't planning to write as by now I have lost all hope for XD. I downloaded Figma yesterday and played around with it some. It seems they got everything right that XD got horribly wrong. Adobe XD is dead. If it weren't for the occasional Photoshop/Acrobat needs I would ditch the Adobe subscription altogether (XD doesn't deserve our money). Someone wrote here that Adobe had stopped supporting XD, I didn't want to believe it but sadly, it's true. I don't see any chance whatsoever of them ever catching up with the competition. Bye.

I'm trying to finish the current project in XD to avoid transfering files but had 4 or 5 crashes in 2 workdays. The project consists of 4 artboards with not a lot in them. This application is a total joke.

There is not even an aswer from Adobe, they focuse so hard on new features and some of them not even requested by people, but essential things like these are ignored completely.  this has been here for years and I don't think they will fix it any time soon.  

I should be thinking on moving my workflow to figma or other app.

I hate to complain but the functionality being requested is really critical. Lacking this, I cannot even remotely understand how anyone at Adobe considered component states to be ready for release. If you have to go in and edit, what exactly is state bringing to the table? People have been asking for this for years now. I have convinced a couple of my Fortune 100 clients to use XD but I am starting to seriously regret it and plan to switch back to Sketch, or over to Figma, as soon as my current project allows for it. A real shame.

Hi @Sherif Assaf, @Rishabh_Tiwari, Adobe,

Any update on this feature request? I have the same issue currently. 2 years since the OP and it seems quite long for a feature update that the other tools offer on the market.

 

Best,

- Nitish.
