class

Required

Type

string

Value

constant: the value of this property must be equal to:

"overrideValue"

objectId

Required

Description

A list of IDs or keys that refer to objects, describing an overridden chain. The value of the last object will be overridden. The other objects on the chain are instances. For example: Suppose this array is [D456, 6516, FB09]. Suppose the current instance (of ID XXXX) points to a symbol-master (of ID C1CF), which contains a symbol-instance (of ID D456). And this instance (of ID D456) points to another symbol-master (of ID 0739), which contains another symbol-instance (of ID 6516). Recursively, this instance (of ID 6516) points to yet another symbol-master (of ID 59B5), which contains the final object (of ID FB09). So the current instance (of ID XXXX) will override the value of the final object (of ID FB09) according to overrideName and overrideValue. Note: Each item in the array is associated with the object's overrideKey first. If overrideKey does not exist, the object's ID is associated.

Type

Array<string>

overrideName

Required

Description

Starting with the top-level property of the object, use . as a separator. If the property is an array, it contains the index of the array, starting at 0, and * is valid for all items. For example: style: override whole style. style.fills: override the style.fills. style.fills.0: override the first item of style.fills. style.fills.0.color: override the color of the first style.fills. style.fills.*.color: override the color of all items in style.fills.

Type

string

overrideValue

Required

Description

The value of the overridden attribute, whose type depends on the concrete property. There are two special cases: When overrideName ends with style and overrideValue conforms to referenced_style_<id>, then it uses the corresponding value in references (top-level attribute). When the value is null, it indicates deletion.

Type

Not specified

effectOnLayout

Optional

Description

If the value of this property is true, the current override applies to the layout. Default value is false. Note: Layout information is defined in layout.json, not design.json.

Type

boolean
