Hello.

First of all, i want to clarify that i have not a lot of knowledge in plugin development nor programing in general. But with the help of GPT4 i manage to do my little stuff here and there.

I just created a small plugin that moves the selected object to an autolayout frame that stores discarded components and stuff:

// This is a sample function wrapper for plugin logic

function moveToBrokenToys() {

  const selection = figma.currentPage.selection;



  if (selection.length === 0) {

      figma.closePlugin("Please select an object to move to 'Broken Toys'");

      return;

  }



  const theVoidPage = figma.root.children.find(page => page.name === "  The Void");



  if (!theVoidPage) {

      figma.closePlugin("'  The Void' page not found.");

      return;

  }



  const brokenToysSection = theVoidPage.children.find(frame => frame.name === "Broken Toys" && frame.type === "FRAME");



  if (!brokenToysSection || !(brokenToysSection.type === "FRAME" || brokenToysSection.type === "GROUP")) {

      figma.closePlugin("'Broken Toys' section not found in '  The Void'.");

      return;

  }



  selection.forEach(node => {

      // Check if node.parent exists and if brokenToysSection is a FrameNode or GroupNode to access 'children'

      if (node.parent && ('children' in brokenToysSection)) {

          // TypeScript still needs assurance that 'children' is a valid property of brokenToysSection

          const brokenToysChildren = (brokenToysSection as FrameNode).children;

          

          if (node.parent.id !== brokenToysSection.id) {

              const index = brokenToysChildren.length;

              // Append the node to "Broken Toys"; TypeScript requires casting for appendChild

              (brokenToysSection as FrameNode | GroupNode).appendChild(node);

              node.x = brokenToysSection.x + (index * 100); // Adjust positioning as needed

              node.y = brokenToysSection.y;

          }

      }

  });



  figma.closePlugin("Selected object(s) moved to 'Broken Toys'.");

}



// Call the function when the plugin is run

moveToBrokenToys();

I would like to not move them inside an autolayout frame, but inside a Section.

PRoblem is that GPT doen’t know how to do it since its knowledge is from before sections where introduced.

Can someone help me?

Thanks!
