Question

Fix launched: Figma incorrectly sharing to selection

There is a bug in the copy link to selection function.

When using the pop up menu and selecting “copy link to selection” it will copy the link to the exact thing that I’ve selected (yay!)

The “copy link to selection” function also has a shortcut key, ⌘L (yay!)

When using the ⌘L shortcut the link copied only points to the frame/section that the selected object is within, not the original selection. This means that the pop up menu option and the shortcut for that menu option will point to two different links (boo!)

    I’m having the same issue too. Seems like a bug

    Yep, I’m experiencing the same problem. There’s another thread where people are reporting this as well here: Potential Bug: Share button not linking to the frame that has been selected

      I am wondering if there are two issues here being conflated?
      Some people in the thread are reporting an issue with the “share button”, my specific issue is related to the keyboard shortcut on the pop up menu that comes from right clicking on a selection. Just flagging that for clarity! Thanks for looking into this - it will make my life so much easier yaaay!

        Thanks for clarifying that, @Grace_M!

        I’ll be sure this is noted for the team as they continue to investigate and work on a fix. 🙂

          Just got an update to my support ticket from Figma.
          It looks like issue is solved.

            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.
