Bug: Saving Team Design Library broke Text widgets

[blytheaw]

Can we access your project?

• I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

After saving a Team Design Library (with a small change to TextField themed widget) in use by two FlutterFlow projects in my organization, almost all regular Text widgets that used a variable for their value were cleared out and reset and just showed [Text Widget] in the UI builder.

We were able to resolve them by going to every single Text widget, clicking the little delete icon to remove the theme style, then it resolved and brought the value back.

This is odd because we do not have any themed widgets for Text widgets. After saving the design library, most Text widgets began appearing as though there was a themed widget style attached because the delete icon was visible but there was not actually a theme style to reference (see screenshots).

Expected Behavior

Saving the team design library does not break Text Widgets across all consuming projects

Steps to Reproduce

We have not attempted reproduction as we are hesitant to mess with this again given how much damage it did in our projects and how much rework it is causing.

But best we know, the steps causing this were:

1. Start with a Team Design Library used by one or more consuming projects
2. Consuming project should have Text widgets using a Theme Style set from the Team Design Library (i.e. typography settings)
3. Make a change not related to Typography or Text widgets in the Team Design Library (the one change we made was a property of TextField, not Text, themed widget) and save the design library
4. We then observed in the consuming project all Text widgets having their values removed, UI builder showing [Text Widget] for them and it not resolving the theme style.

Reproducible from Blank

• The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Additional Information

This has caused an immense amount of tedious rework and affected our trust in the shared design system feature. This is a massive issue. Please fix it urgently.

Hello,

I’m very sorry to hear about the experience you’ve had with this issue. I’ve been working to replicate the problem using three libraries across three different projects, each with TextField Style applied. In the corresponding consuming projects, I used plain text widgets without styling and then tested updating the library to observe the effects on the consuming projects. However, I couldn’t reproduce the behavior you described—it’s quite unusual.

If possible, could you create a sample library along with a sample project that reproduces the issue? Please share the bug report codes for both the library and the project so we can investigate further.

Thank you, and I apologize again for any inconvenience caused.
