Lock parameters unless edited

[ZEBRADOG]

Is there a way to update the default parameter value of components placed throughout a site after they are inserted?

For example. I have a button component that has a parameter for font size. For 95% of my buttons I dont want to edit this parameter, I simply want it to match the component default, but I have to add it for the few locations that need exceptions.

This works until I go into the component and change that components default values. Is there any way to link the parameter values to the component until it is “overwritten” on that specific component?

Hey Kyle,

Regretfully, I’m not sure what you want to accomplish. Can you take screenshots of your current setup and describe what you wish to accomplish according to your screenshots.

Thanks.

So I created a button component and it has a parameter for text size. Within the component editor I set that parameter to be a specific value and then I “exported” that component.

I then placed that component into a bunch of places on my site, almost all of them I want to be set to that pre-defined text size value except for 2 places that I want a different value (which is why I created the parameter, so it can be changed)

Later I decided I wanted all of those buttons (except the 2 exceptions) to have a different text size as the default. However changing that component parameter does not change the value on already placed components.

Is there a way to lock those values on components that are already placed on the site so that they are linked?

When I don’t use parameters then this is possible, however once I add the parameter and wire it into the element those values no longer seem to sync.

I see the issue you are having. Unfortunately, the components placed on a page will save their data to the page they are on. So updating a parameter at the component level will not change other pages using said component. We can look at adding a feature for grabbing the default values if values have not changed. Thanks this is a great idea.
