Ignores symbol instances

[Joshuwar]

This could be deliberate, but I've noticed that when I create a symbol instance (in Sketch) which contains a group named with a transition_destination, that link is ignored (presumably because framer doesn't import the symbol as layers). Symbols given an instance name of transition_destination also don't work (presumably for the same reason).

You can partly work around this by wrapping an individual symbol in a group, and naming that, but this could become hard to maintain on large, evolving prototypes.

Any ideas?

Yes, this is an issue with how Framer imports layers. Not much we can do at the moment. Let them know and maybe we'll see a change :)

There's a bit of talk about it in the Facebook group, but I'm not sure if it's going anywhere. I might have a go at hacking the import script to deal with symbols differently, as a workaround until a decent solution is decided upon.
