Got it, if I want to style something inside a symbol and share the changes I should add a class to it. Thank you both for the help!

Hello
This color is applied to the element, in grapesjs this means it will generate a css like #compid { color: red; } but IDs are unique in an HTML page, so the other symbol has a different ID
It's a problem to me too, I'm not sure how that should be addressed... Maybe @artf has an idea
Sorry, not a bug, but a "feature" ๐
IMHO, component styles should not be bound to symbols; that's an easy way to override styles between same symbols (common thing). If you need the same styles, you simply leverage the classes.
Thank you for reporting this issue and for the kind words about GrapesJS! You've identified a common point of confusion regarding how styles are propagated within GrapesJS Symbols. Root Cause The behavior you're observing is not strictly a bug, but rather a consequence of how GrapesJS manages style...
