Fix launched: Figma incorrectly sharing to selection

Still facing issues with this reported bug of links to selections not working. I’ve tried logging out and restarting, but it persists.

Hey @Deanna_Castellano, sorry to hear this!

Our team pushed a fix for this last Friday.

How are you trying to generate your links to a selection? Are you using the copy to selection keyboard shortcut, copy link to selection through the right-click menu, or copy link when using the Share button?

Hi thank you @dvaliao, before the bug fix, and before the manual work-around I posted. Every single way I tried share a link, “copy link” right-click menu share. It was not grabbing the node-id.

No this did not happen on all files, It seem to be only new files, or files I had merged a branch on, but not 100% on that.

To date. Link Sharing is working 100% like it should and how it did before the bug.

You’re welcome, @Chad_Dunbar!

Thanks for the additional context and glad to hear it’s working again. I’ll pass your feedback onto the team in the case they want to note it for the bug’s retro.

I seem to be having the same issue here. Used to be able to select a layer on my design and create a links straight to it to share with devs but now it takes to the parent frame.

@dvaliao Actually this issue is still happening. Both with the keyboard shortcut and when clicking Share. The parent frame is shared, not the selected frame.

Hey @Erico_Nascimento and @David_N, thanks for following up!

How deeply nested are the layers that you’re trying to link to? Are you able to share your file with us? https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new

If so, please include a URL link to the file to the topic thread here, and share edit access with support-share@figma.com.

We’re still experiencing the issue. When sharing a section (keyboard shortcut, right click menu or share button - it’s the same with all of them), the link opens the whole project, instead of that specific section. For privacy reasons we need the rest of the project/board to remain hidden when sharing a section. Is there a fix for this?

I’m still experiencing this issue. No “link to selected frame” option from ‘Share,’ and cmd+L links to the entire parent frame.

I’m seeing a lot of older posts claiming the bug was fixed, but it’s not.

This is still an issue. Does not link the specified frame via Share button, right click, or CTRL + L.

Still having issues with these frame links… I copy a frame link from a page that contains only app views, and when copy pasting it in Jira it shows me a frame link from another page dedicated to Web Desktop views…
