Figma Accordion Component Placeholder Text Issue

At a glance

The community member is having an issue with an accordion component in Figma. They modify the text for the dropdown state, but the next day the text reverts back to the placeholder text. A comment suggests that the community member may need to detach the component instances on the pages to prevent the text from being reset. The comment provides a keyboard shortcut (cmd + option + B) to detach the component. There is no explicitly marked answer in the comments.

Sorry, funny Figma question here. I have an accordion component that I've been using in a lot of my designs. I insert the component, and then modify the text for the dropdown state based on the content I need there. My issue is, I come back the next day, the dropdown text has been replaced back to the placholder text that was in the original component! Super frustrating. Any ideas on whats going on?

that is very odd...are you detaching your component instances on the pages? Maybe that will stop them from being reset somehow? Never heard of anything like this before.

Select a component and do cmd + option + B to detach the component.
