I’m new to Penpot and I understand that concepts like properties and variants are currently not implemented in Penpot components. The suggested alternative is to just swap components, but the problem I’m facing is that there seems to be no way of keeping certain overrides (like e.g. the label of a button, even if it’s layer has the same name). Or am I still missing something?
