I see some older mentions of similar problems but this seems a little different. I’ve reproduced this in a standalone library and design file… I start with a MUI Select component in my library and create instances in a separate design file like this. Each label and value are set by Text properties. I then update the library to slightly restructure the component. Each label gets grouped with another text layer that optionally shows a “*” if a new “required” property is true. When I publish the library, I expected all the labels and values to remain unchanged… but, only some of the variants do… The funny thing here is only 1 reset. The last time I tried this, 3 of them reset. What is going on? (Ignore the error variant’s label’s color change - my mistake.)

I love Figma, but please don’t move my frequently used tools with no notice. Give me the option of adopting new designs when it’s convenient. I don’t want to hunt for frequently used tools on my hand-off day.

Hi there, I have problem with Figma not syncing previously activated adobe font in an already existing project. I signed in adobe creative cloud and also in adobe profile on adobe.com, restarted Mac several times and it is still to working. Is there anything else I can do? Does anyone have the same issue with font sincing? Thanks

Hi everyone, I have a question about layer styles. In Sketch, you can set a layer style for a title, including values like font color, font, size, etc. However, in Figma, it seems that you can only apply layer styles to typography information, and color needs to be set separately. For example, if I want to create an error notification title in Figma with 12px, red, and bold text, I would need to create a text style with the 12px and bold settings and a separate style for the color. In Sketch, you could create a style called “error title” that includes the font weight, size, and color all in one. Is it possible to combine these styles in Figma, or do they need to be applied separately?

I have type variables bound to a type style, and when I switch modes from desktop to iOS, I can’t see the changes in the type style properties. It always shows the first column (Mode), which in this case would be desktop. Any ideas on why this happens? This first screen has the desktop (Mode) active. This second screen has iOS (Mode) selected. The type scale changes visually but the display of the variables is not changed unless I go into dev mode. Is this as intended?

Hi I’m looking to sell a template on Figma community. Since Figma doesn’t support payments in India, I’m planning to sell on Gumroad. I’m trying to figure out how to integrate it into Figma community file. Please help.

Hello everyone, Throughout my projects, I frequently utilize a variety of plugins to optimize my workflow. Recently, as I was developing an Icon library, I incorporated a plugin to expedite the process. However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. So I decided to create a plugin to do this, is there an API reference to remove plugin trace from layer with bulk selection? or even better one, inspect layers with plugin data and remove all of them as bulk ?

Hello everyone, Throughout my projects, I frequently utilize a variety of plugins to optimize my workflow. Recently, as I was developing an Icon library, I incorporated a plugin to expedite the process. However, as I’m preparing to publish the library, I find myself needing to remove all plugin-related data from the properties panel for each icon. Considering the distinct naming conventions used, I’m unable to select multiple items simultaneously for this cleanup. Is there a technique to accomplish this in bulk? Additionally, in more complex projects where I apply a sequence of plugins, I’m curious if there’s a streamlined method to erase all plugin data from every layer in one action before making the project public. Is there a method or plugin that anyone has used successfully for this purpose?

Hello, I’m trying to upgrade my account to professional. On the very first step, I see “Adjust seats”, where I can see one more account that is not mine and I don’t know whose account it is. Now, my question is how should I remove them from that step? If not, will it be a problem in future? I’m adding a screenshot of the same. Please help. Thanks!

Where has the “Go to main component” button disappeared in assets? She used to be, now she’s gone, who knows what this is connected with? How was it: right now this is not

I’ve embedded a video in my prototype, it works great on desktop. But when I try to view it in the Figma app it shows me the first frame, then disappears then comes back a second or two later and starts to play. It’s important to note that it just “suddenly” started to happen. There were no changes to that section of the prototype. I’ve tried everything and nothing seems to fix it. Thoughts?

Hi, i post here because i didn’t find a solution to the problem. For my project I would like that when I click on “1/4 range tools” it opens an overlay just below. Normally by setting the overlay to manual it should work… and yet it appears in the middle of the screen If anyone has a solution, I’m interested ! THANKS ! (I’m a beginner and this is a personal project)

After opening the design file, I cannot click any button, select any frame to perform any operation. The console cannot be opened, clearing the cache does not work, connecting to VPN does not work, and restarting the app still has the same problem. The system version is macOS 15.0 beta4. Stuck on this page, unable to operate.

Can variables reliably be used to select which variant is used for a component when the instance is nested within another component instance? E.g. Screen Header – Logo (variant = BrandA) Screen Header – Logo (variant = BrandB) I am finding that using a variable to set which variant is to be used for an instance that is nested does not reliably load. Or does it only fail when there are mode conflicts, and if so, how to resolve mode conflicts? Have tried following this reference without success yet:Figma Learn - Help Center Any ideas @Gleb , @tank666 or anyone else? Thanks, Martyn

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search.layoutMode | Plugin API How to create a new frame and set the layout mode to be wrap rather than horizontal or vertical please? Can do for vertical like this: var frameWrapper = Figma.createFrame(); frameWrapper.name = “spans”; frameWrapper.x = 100; frameWrapper.y = 100; frameWrapper.layoutMode = ‘VERTICAL’; // layoutMode: ‘NONE’ | ‘HORIZONTAL’ | ‘VERTICAL’ But, the documentation does not show an option for ‘WRAP’ Are the docs just out of date, or is there another way please?

These are the component list I build for one report 8 screen common filter slicers. But when we run the pages and click on slicer show hide and tab switch the filter dropdown get swapped and changed the instance. Actual I build with this flow - But when I switched the tab then it get misplaced.

My Figma problem. If edit note with other person at the same time, cursor jump to other line text

My team and I are trying to get the enterprice version of Figma because it has a feature we need… …but we can’t get it without speaking to a sales person. WHY AREN’T THE SALES TEAM AT FIGMA RESPONDING TO US? Its been nearly 2 weeks and we’ve had no response. Anyone else having issues getting in contact with them? This is really frustrating.

Hey there, are there any plans to add the ability to duplicate / create Figma documents onto the REST API roadmap? I don’t believe it’s possible currently (read only) but could open up some interesting opportunities. Thanks.

I never came across this issue on OSX its only since I’ve been using Windows 11 fulltime. Basically when using the app I sometimes hit the Windows key between CTRL and ALT and the start menu pop-ups sometimes (thats fine), but then once back focused on the Figma desktop app, many keys stop working e.g. “X” “C” “V” “CTRL” “H” … just a bunch of random keys won’t respond. At first I thought it was something to do with a conflicting app I had installed, but it seems quite odd as I have a pretty clean/fresh build of Win11 with not many apps installed. Figma version: 124.2.9

Hey i am learning Figma and my control z is not working as well as i am unable to delte layers

It looks like the only way I can move a project from my person email account to my work email account is by paying for one month of an organization account. Is this really the case?

The video is here Reddit - Dive into anything Hello, I wanted to know how to do in Figma the same thing as in example 1, in which when it becomes small it keeps 1 in the middle and on each side the border of 2 others, how do I make it become bigger or smaller and always be centered? I have been trying for several days and I have not found any video that explains this after more than 20 videos, please help, thank you.

Hey ! I want to allow a customer to view and change text in a file. The file uses components from an internal component library (design system), and even with view only access and with the Advanced Viewers can copy, share and export option turned off, the ‘customer’ can duplicate the entire component library to his drafts. Seems like a IP hole to me. I can just share prototype links, but then customer will have to screenshots. Suggestions welcome 🙂

For whatever reason, I have a client where one of the designs on the team is unable to use the text styles in the design system I’ve created. When they choose a style to apply, it just does nothing. If there was a style applied already by another designer, it just remains at that one. If there was no style to begin with, it just doesn’t get applied. Typography variables for font family and weight also appear crossed out (see attached). One other team member had this issue, and it was because they didn’t have the font installed, that was fixed by installing it. But this member does have the font installed, and yet they are still having issues. Any ideas?
