Has anyone faced issues where the text style that is defined and applied to a text is shown in a different style in terms of name to the viewer or dev mode?

Hi friends, I have a boolean variable that I have attached to the layer visibility of a Group layer, which I turn on and off using radio buttons. For some reason though, the variable detaches itself seemingly at random. I have not identified what is causing this and am hoping for a little help. I am aware that variables are in Beta, but is this a known issue though? Thank you.

Hey! I would like to ask if it supports Mandarin system? Because when I used Mandarin in FigJam then when I created outline all the content changed into English version in Slides. Is there any solution? It would be very helpful to fix this as in Asia not everyone could understand English very well. Thank you so much!

It would be great to be able to pass the API access token to an embed endpoint for allowing read-access to the prototype (with a valid access token). Is this on the Figma roadmap or have you considered building out something like this? This would allow me to share prototypes for research with testers who don’t have a Figma account to log in with.

Can you just add some comma or rewrite this message so it is easier to understand? I dragged an instance from Assets panel to page. Seems the component was created, published, then has been deleted from this same file. Did I get it right?

Hi. I’m trying to create script, which will upload images from local pc storage to Figma file. I do it through token, but get error 403 “Invalid Token”. The token is taken from account - settings - security. It is correctly written, the token account and file account is one and mine. May be the issue with scopes, but how to check it… while generating token I extended all rights that I could. There’s simple checking code with similar error, may be someone can direct me: import requests TOKEN = “personal token” FILE_KEY = “the string between “design” and /name of file” HEADERS = {“Authorization”: f"Bearer {TOKEN}"} url = f"https://api.figma.com/v1/files/{FILE_KEY}" response = requests.get(url, headers=HEADERS) if response.status_code == 200: print(“OK”) elif response.status_code == 403: print(“Error 403: Invalid token.”) elif response.status_code == 401: print(“Error 401”) else: print(f"Error {response.status_code}: {response.text}")

i cant select some elements like text boxes and pictures but i can also select other elements, this only happens to one file and its very important for me to finish this but this ruins my work flow, any help?

It’s hard to work on Figma since the last update. Give me back my old UI, This you can keep it to yourself. I can’t even find options which were right in front of my eyes in the old UI. I used to work really fast, Now the same work take 3-4more hours to complete. … Either change it back, Or god help me, I’ll better die working with adobe XD.

I’m on the last day of a massive deadline crunch, and while I’m thrilled to see the variables feature added thanks to the update, I am mortified that I have lost hours of work because some older font weights “are no longer available”. I’m here partly to just express my shock and horror, but also: If there is any way to recover my work QUICKLY, please let me know. Thanks P.S. Yes, many of the styles are in components, so fixes can be global. However, I am still rehearsing a call to the director to explain the delay. There will be a delay. P.P.S. I am using the Open Sans font family, and Open Sans Medium has been eliminated. I don’t yet know if that’s the only weight.

Why did the official delete my files? My plan is starter. After upgrading to the new version, why did you delete my data without my knowledge? I need to recover all my historical files quikly! Please get back to me immediately. 🙃

Добрый день! При сохранении пдф файла, когда открываю в браузере - всё отлично (с первого по последний слайд всё хорошо открывается). Но при открытии файла на компьютере, он начинается не с начала (где-то с пятого слайда). Уже и несколько раз пробовала скачивать, всё равно одно и тоже. В чём может быть проблема? Заранее спасибо 🙏🏼

Eek! Every time I type a letter with an accent (for example: Alt+130 =é) in my Figma file, it deletes the previously typed letter. The word “différent” comes out as “diférent” leaving my French document full of spelling mistakes due to the deleted letters. It wasn’t doing that before so I’m guessing it’s a new bug. Has anyone had this same experience and do you have a fix for it? Thanks!

Guessing no one wanted to actually USE the forum anyway.

im searching on the internet last 2 hours but i dont know why im not able to see the ai features in Figma and also not be able to see admin

As seen in the picture Figma variables userd as 3 collections by the name tokens, alias then semantic. Semantic variables have been assigned to element in design. With the time being, and while using many designers, there are unused variables in each collection. Is there a way to check them out, so we can safely remove from the collection/s.

Hello, My uni id got deactivated a few weeks back, I am now unable to access my Figma account that was connected to it - that’s about 3 years of design work. I have sent an email to the Figma support, would really appreciate if anyone can help me here:))

There is a blue box that sometimes appears around some of the tools on the design panel. For example, the box that I’ve drawn in the screenshot below. And upon clicking enter, it changes the toggle. I wonder if anyone knows how to trigger this as a keyboard shortcut? I stumble on this a few times but do not know how to recreate it. I figure it’ll save me a lot of time instead of having to access the design panel via my cursor. Thanks!

Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with compatibility between Auto Layout and Smart Animate. I have two components, accordion lists, with several variants that collapse and expand through Smart Animate. Whenever I apply Auto Layout to the frame with the components, they lose the Smart Animate effect, the page twitches and then the accordion list expands with Instant effect. This is a video of the issue: 13.04.2022_09.55.55_REC.mp4 - Google Drive Thanks in advance!

Hello folks ! I’m in charge of a very large multi-brand design system and it’s so complexe, because each one need specific customization ! I’m scared it begin to be a mess soon, for now we have 4 brands in the design system. Does any one have faced that ?

I am having issue with fonts. The first one, on some files and sometimes I can not add text or edit the existing text. When I try with shortcut or from the menu, it doesn’t work. I have uninstall some of the plugins as it might cause the issue, but still not working on some of my files (on same account) The second thing is, the file that I have build the design system on, I can not see the fonts. Fonts seem missing. Please see the attachment

I’m on the Starter plan and I usually just browse through all my files that are not under any team under Recent. Now, they’re all gone. All I did was just delete a team, and then, they’re all gone. Has this happened to anyone of you? What do I do?

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Frames in absolute position moving randomly when the file reloads or refreshes. Have to manually re-position them.

I’m trying to use importVariableByKeyAsync method: importVariableByKeyAsync | Plugin API. It’s described as method for getting variable from published library. But I’m getting only local variable

Hello, I cannot play with boolean properties anymore. Maybe something has recently been updated and I’m not familiar with the new UI or maybe something is buggy on my end, whichever way, could you please have a look at the attached test file and help me figure out what is happening ? Upon creating a component with two variants, I add a boolean property, which immediately indicates on the component property panel that it is “not used within component”. I then head to each variant, one after another, in an attempt to specify whether the new property should be True or False, however it does not appear in their property panel. Alternatively, I have looked for the “Apply variable” button in the variants Appearance panel, but the button doesn’t show. This is creating major delays in a prototype I am preparing for a client, so any help will be appreciated. Bets regards, Baptiste
