HProperty 'createButton' does not exist on type 'PluginAPI'

I’m using ChatGPT to help me write a plugin that takes user input from one form and pass it to another - so want to create the plugin UI’s programmatically.

I know ChatGPT has old reference data. What has replaced Figma.createButton() and Figma.createInput() to programmatically create form elements in typescript?

    Yes that is what I want to do. In the first UI the user inputs some data, data is manipulated in code.ts and the manipulated data displayed back to the user.

    I love how ChatGPT is making stuff up to answer questions. I have looked at the Figma plugin API docs and can’t find anything that programmatically creates form elements like inputs or buttons.

    Can you point me in the specific direction?
