Hi I'm fairly new to figma. Learning tutorials. Just wondering I've created a component with text and made that into an auto layout so that I am able to switch around text/add if needed. I then made an instance of that component and am trying to switch text around and its not working. For some reason it only works on the master component?

This is a classic problem. You cannot change the structure of the instance itself while using it.
- For this, you will have to create multiple variants at the master level. Then use the right instance at the right places.
- Another hacky option is to just edit the field names of 1 and 2 to 2 and 1 to swap them at an instance level. But this is not scalable.
