I'm currently using Affinity Designer and trying to do some User Interface Prototyping. I only just started using the software, so maybe Symbols aren't the right tool for the job. To clarify, I'm not actually creating a Symbol directly from a Text object. Rather, I'm grouping together a bunch of objects to create something which resembles a list item and then creating a Symbol from that group. I'm then trying to change the contents of the list item while maintaining the ability to style it. I might play around with Text Styles tonight and see if that goes any better. If there is a better way to do what I'm trying to do, I'm all ears. I'm just hoping that I can use Designer to prototype a little more rapidly than firing up a browser and writing some code.

Is it possible to change the contents of a Text Symbol without unlinking the Text Color and Size from the Symbol? Basically, I'm attempting to use Symbols sort of like CSS classes. I'd like to be able to change the contents of a text fragment but still be able to style all text fragments the same way (Color, Size, etc...).
