Hello everyone,I've set the variable Modes for the typography font size in my Figma file. This allows me to set whether the font should be used for Desktop Mode or Mobile Mode under Appearance. Like here https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/15343816063383-Modes-for-variablesThis works very well if, for example, I copy a screen for Desktop and change it to Mobile.Now, my problem: When I copy a group or frame from Desktop and then paste it into the Mobile screen, the font size doesn't change, even though the Appearance is set. CMD+Shift+V doesn't work either.Does anyone have any ideas? I can reset the mode, but that can't be the solution.

以前までは添付画像の赤枠内をクリックした状態でコピーすることで、同じエフェクトをペーストして重ねがけ出来たのですが、最近は同様の動作では実現できなくなってしまいました。エフェクトのコピペ機能は削除されてしまったのでしょうか？もしくは別の操作方法に変わったのでしょうか？

In https://www.figma.com/code-connect-docs/ci-cd/ it specifies that you can use Github Action to automatically publish changes with Code Connect.Is there more information on how to specify tokens? Is there a specific token for CI or should we use personal token for this case?  

When using the comment feature in Figma for Japanese input, the cursor occasionally moves to the very end of the comment upon confirming the conversion. As demonstrated in the attached capture, this behavior does not always occur with the same keyboard operations. I am quite troubled by this and would like to see it improved. For this demonstration, ‘Google Japanese Input’ is being used for Japanese input. However, the same behavior occurs with the Japanese input system that comes with MacOS.

Hi guys,I’m working on a text field as par of my Figma training, and when i add auto-layout to the text “Label” and the line next to it, the line moves and disaligns with the rest of the frame. Can I make those 2 lines align again?I’ve tried the following:1 adding an arrow at the end of the line to see if the line itself would budge,2 moving the auto-layout to aign again,3 mind power.I’m a beginner so i’m sure there’s a solution and i’ve simply not found it.Any advice is welcome.Many Thanks!Alison

Hi all,I have a quite serious topic. In my designs somebody changed an email address to a different one, but it was not my team or somebody who has write access to it, our it was not intentionally, or forgot about it. The problem is that we were not able to detect from the history who did it, this change is displayed every version from the history, but it cannot be true, because we checked maximum circa a one and a half week ago, and then the email address was the original one. and now its changed in every version. What can be the problem? Thanks! 

I got the ai in Figma to help me create a document and it’s 11 pages long. It’s got great artwork, design and of course my verbiage. I have no idea how to export this to PDF as a fully illustrated document and it’s driving me crazy. I tried to contact Figma but they told me to come here. Can anyone help if I share the link?

I simply drag and drop a component to inside of another component but didn’t work. I can’t add component as a child element to another component.

Hi! I am looking to verify what file(s) the MCP has access to (i.e. can it see a list of all files on my account / in my org, or can it only access the file that is currently open in Figma Desktop?), and whether the MCP can ever make changes to said files, or does it have read-only access?Thanks!

Hi,I have created a dropdown component with variables where i select option and it update the text in field.But the problem is that when i am using this component in other file and the option text changed then it is not changing the option text when i am opening the dropdown it is showing the basic value that was set in base component open state.In component i set local variable for label (Variable: SelectOption)For each option in dropdown options i set variable option1, option2 and so on Now in other file i am using that component and create some local variables for select option  and options in list. I detach the variable and assign new local variables. But when i am checking it in “Present” mode it is still showing me Option 1 and Option 2 in list  Really need help here that how can i update the variables in other file to use the same functionality

Hello community, I am looking for any information on how working with branches and merging branches has been for you guys. I am currently working with a file that should serve as a single source of truth for other files. It is a design system file with variables and a hierarchy of namings for the variables. We are considering restructuring some of the variable groups and how the group namings are set up. We might group variables into a functionality structure where components that are usually used for input & controls are grouped together, then components that are for content & display are in another group, then components that are usually for navigation are in another group, feedback & status group, layout & structure group, and then maybe an overlays group. We might also regroup typography variables like fontsize, weight, and family into a nested group structure. Some of our variables have generic semantic names and then some have a more specific component level name.

Some time before in Figma when I did a query on an endpoint:GET curl -H 'X-FIGMA-TOKEN: {token}'  'https://api.figma.com/v1/files/{file_key}' With many others fields the collaborators field was returned in the response where I could get information about the person's email, role and IDBut now I don't see such a field in the responseHas the response body changed over time?And is there an alternative that could be used to get collaborators?

Hello everyone I use the Figma Makes project, it's a very cool thing, thanks to the developers, of course, but it put me in a super awkward position, the layout works, that is, in the preview and where everything is ok to code, but when I publish the site, it's just gray.... 

I have a library file with 2 color modes, light and dark, containing the design system for Project A. Now I’m working on Project B, which uses the same styling as Project A—only the colors are different—so I created a new color mode for it.However, I’m running into an issue where the color mode updates aren’t applied correctly to some components—specifically components where I’ve already overridden certain properties in the project file.Here’s a more detailed example:I have a button component with two stateProperties: default and hover. The button also includes an icon inside. After I published and updated the library, the default state reflects the correct color mode. But the hover state—especially the icon inside it—doesn't update correctly.The only way I’ve found to fix it is to manually switch the button state to default, then back to hover. After doing that, the correct color mode applies. But doing this across the whole file would take too much time.Do you guys have any solution

Hi, I created a dashboard landing page in FIGMA's AI and it generated code for me. How can I visually transfer it to my work screen?

Hey everyone!I’m looking to upgrade from my old tape measure and want recommendations for a reliable digital measurement tool.I mainly do woodworking and some home DIY projects, so accuracy and ease of use are key. I’ve seen laser distance measurers and digital calipers online.I want to start measuring more efficiently and precisely, especially when working with tight spaces or tricky angles. How do these tools perform in different lighting or surface conditions?Any features I should look out for? Appreciate any input or real-world experiences.

Hi Everyone  I have recently paid for a Figma pro plan annual. I was able upload videos on the Figma file no problem, but now I suddenly can no longer upload any videos. It says I need to upgrade to a pro plan. But I am already on that plan. Has anyone experienced this? Anyone in Figma can help with this issue?

Where is absolute position option is there in Figma in latest version? is the name changed as “ignore auto layout”?

Hello community, I ran into a little problem and have a quick question. At first I made this simple text button with variables I configured every parameter on the button with variables and now I can switch button size (with icons, text size, etc.) to S, M, L, XL sizes easily.However if I make split button like this with text button + icon button grouped together, my sizes of S,M,L, XL doesnt work anymore, I have to click every button inside nest and change appearance via variables individually, is it possible to change all grouped elements via variables at once?   

Hi everyone,Just purchased a file, the purchase went through and…. Nothing. The file didn’t open and I can’t find it anywhere. Is there a place in Figma where all the purchases files are listed?  I found the file I ‘bought’ through the Community browser and it still says “Buy for ...”, I can’t download it. I have a receipt.

It doesn’t let me design 

Hello everyone,I’m looking for some guidance on hiring a professional to help manage my online presence. Recently, some outdated or misleading information has started affecting my personal brand and business reputation.I’ve been advised to work with a Reputation Management consultant, but I’m not sure what to look for or how to evaluate one. Has anyone here worked with a consultant like this before?What should I expect in terms of cost, strategy, and results?Any recommendations or red flags to watch out for would be greatly appreciated.

I just created a new Figma account, but I’ve actually been using Figma for quite a while and am pretty familiar with it. I was hoping to start selling design files through the Community using this new account.But I noticed that the option to sell files isn’t showing up yet. Does anyone know if there are certain requirements before this feature becomes available? Like, do I need to upload some free files first, have a certain number of followers, or let the account be active for a while?
