Menu Tags with variants - states are not updating

Archived from the Bravo community forum (2021–2026). Some answers may refer to older versions of Bravo.

Hey everyone,

I am completely stuck, watched almost every tutorial out there, looked into your threads here & also looked at other design files - I still cannot figure out what's going on: Please help 😃

I am trying to set up a [menu:tabs], I added my variants with an active & default state & stacked them on top of each other. I have linked always the default to the respective page but whenever I open it, the state is never updating... I can navigate between pages but it always displays the default stage.

Here is the link to the file, would be happy if someone could help me out! 

Thanks a lot in advance!

The Figma actions does not work on Bravo. For default and active status use the Bravo tags. You gave a figma file on Bravo samples showing the 2 ways (figma actions and bravo tags) to setup this.

I think what  meant was that the variant version of component states in Bravo doesn't work as described in the tutorial. I've actually tried to implement it yesterday as well and no matter what I did, it didn't work, so I had to use the 2nd way (state set) instead.

Okay, then if this doesn’t work… how would it work otherwise? 🙁

Figma variants for states are no longer working for me either. This is a bit of a pain since it did work previously. Does anybody know if there are plans to support this again. As stated above it doesn't even work in the Bravo supplied tutorial (only the Bravo tag version works), but that will mean a refactor for those of us that used variants in our files.

Thanks, I watched it and used her files but it's still not working

Any updates on this matter? In Figma, I've used so many variants for many buttons and components. It's a headache thinking I have to redo all of them to make them operate in Bravo. I've tried the various tutorials for menu states and they aren't working.

Wrote something in this thread and want it removed? Request removal

Still stuck?
