It has been almost a week since the last update, I expected this to be fixed by now. Does anyone else have this problem and/or found a fix?

So, i have a component - List, which contains list items as nested components. There are two types of list items, which are different components (not a variants of the same, though they both have their own variants and properties). I created an Instance property in List component and linked every list item to that single picker, so i could pick one of the two types of list items. The problem i have is that all list items sync their properties, so i cannot have list items that differ from each other. The only option i see is to link every list item to its own Instance picker, but it will overcomplicate the properties, can i somehow de-sync the properties of items, that are linked to the same Instance picker? I hope my question is understandable

Hi, I’m having big files on Figma and when dealing with them into Node.js I get: Error: Cannot create a string longer than 0x1fffffe8 characters at TextDecoder.decode (node:internal/encoding:449:16) at utf8DecodeBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:2973:34) at parseJSONFromBytes (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4306:25) at successSteps (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4288:27) at fullyReadBody (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:2724:9) at process.processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5) at async consumeBody (node:internal/deps/undici/undici:4297:7) at getResponseBody (/xxxxxxxx/core/request.ts:217:13) at <anonymous> (/xxxxxxxx/core/request.ts:322:26) { code: 'ERR_STRING_TOO_LONG' } I know it’s not an issue with Figma because as a solution I could try to adjust my autogenerated client from the OpenAPI schema to deal with kind of “streams” to parse the JSON piece by piece but it complexifies the logic for just a f

Hi, When I am trying to switch for a dev mode I get an option of sending a request for dev mode support to the design owner. I am using a professional license and so is the design owner. I was told that if the design owner will approve my request, it will be billed with an additional fee (the design owner has a professional license as well). How can I switch to dev mode? what king of license I need?

I have developed a plugin that uploads JSON data to update text and colours on a page template. Is there a way I can automate this using REST APIs or Plugin APIs? The JSON data is generated dynamically, so I need to amend the plugin to fetch data from a JSON URL and apply it to the page template automatically. Is this even possible in Figma?

Can I upgrade my Figma account to Professional without assigning the upgrade to a team? I need the upgrade across all current and new projects.

Hi, would like to know if there’s any plans to allow access to Figma’s AI capabilities through the plugin API. It would interesting because it could allow us easily to integrate AI with our existing workflows through the plugin we’re developing. With features like automated design reviews or suggest annotations for accessibility

Hello! I’m very new to Figma and trying to just figure it out as I go. I’ve created an instance and I’m trying to make it thinner and have everything resize with it. How would I go about doing this? Is there something in the design panel that I’m missing? If you could add visuals to your response, that would be great!

Hello, I am trying to connect variants via nodes which I have done plenty of times before, but for some reason this time its not working. I want to create a “favorite” button. Step 1: I used 2 assets from material design: Step 2: I created a component and variant of the empty “heart”: Step 3: I copied and replaced the “filled” heart with variant 2: Step 4: When I try to connect nodes, I can connect variant 1 to variant 2, but it won’t let me connect variant 2 to variant 1: I’ve tried detaching instances and I’ve used assets this way before without issue so not sure what’s going on. Thanks for the help!

I want this menu to dropdown instead of opening over each other.

I have tried several times to figure out why 2x is only changing the pixel density from 72 to 144, but not adjusting the dimensions of the image. 3x exporting seems to work just fine. This is causing issues for our development team who has repeatedly been requesting help the past week in exporting new image assets as they can not get the correct resolution themselves. I’ve had other designers attempt to get a correct 2x export with the same issue. Can someone please help? Example of issue: https://www.figma.com/file/ZhV5LFzPd3ZJpJQauNYZYl/Untitled?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=6BEbbska5jA59FIW-1

we currently share designs for both mobile and desktop browser layouts in a single File, and just lay out both the mobile and desktop versions within one Page. how are others doing this/what works best for your team? do you use separate pages? are there Figma features specifically designed to make implementation and workflow smooth, so that team can build “mobile first” but complete both mobile and desktop within the scope of a single work item?

Text bounding box height is always quantized when ‘Cap height to baseline’ vertical trim is on, frequently resulting in bounding boxes that are too tall or too short – is this expected behavior?

In Figma, using Sogou input method, after entering any Chinese symbol, typing Chinese characters will not be displayed. You need to press the arrow keys (right or down) or enter Arabic numerals before continuing to type in Pinyin.
