Simple code: let newPage: PageNode = figma.createPage(); Error: vendor-core-67cd853d…3a53b1.min.js.br:15 Syntax error on line 36: Unexpected token : let newPage: PageNode = figma.createPage(); package.json "scripts": { "build": "tsc -p tsconfig.json", "lint": "eslint --ext .ts,.tsx --ignore-pattern node_modules .", "lint:fix": "eslint --ext .ts,.tsx --ignore-pattern node_modules --fix .", "watch": "npm run build -- --watch" }, What is going on here?

So I’m in the trial for UI3. So far it is going well. I am able to find everything that I need to do my work and I have been both designing and maintaining the design system for two weeks. I like that the main CTA have moved to the bottom of the screen from the top left. One thing that is bothering me is I can no longer use my shortcuts to quickly create a link. On a mac CMD+ K opens the link box then CMD+ V pastes in the link I copied from elsewhere. (On Windows this would be CTRL+ K then CTRL + V) I use this functionality ALOT in handoffs. Maybe others do too? Also these shortcuts are used across many many applications such as Office 365, Google docs, sheets etc and even here in this text editor. Now CMD + K opens a component search window May I please have the CMD + K shortcut back for links? 🙏 Also can you admins please add a UI3 tag to this forum for additional UI3 feedback. Or is there another place trial users should be logging feedback? TYSM!

Hello, I have been trying to reach Figma Sales for over a week about purchasing a licence agreement at Organization level. My organization requires that purchases be made via purchase order and direct funds transfer. I have had contacted Support and had the ticket closed even though I have not been able to pursue the purchase Am I able to purchase via invoice and direct funds transfer as stated in Figma Support documentation or not?

I don’t want to see or use the variable modes on a layer any more, but they are still visible in the right panel, even after deleting all variables and collections. Is this a bug? It is driving me crazy. It is everywhere. I would need to reconstruct a lot of components, just to get rid od this

Hey Figma community, Has anyone figured out how to remove Custom Styles from their color selection? It seems as a new set is added whenever I copy and paste an existing design from Figma but this is getting really unruly.

Hi Community. I have an overlay with a scrollable area and tabs. When I click on one of the tabs after scrolling on the initial overlay to swap it with another overlay, the background screen also changes the scroll position based on where I was on the original overlay. I tried maintaining the same prefix between the background screen and the two overlays, but it didn’t work. How do I keep the background’s scroll position fixed when I scroll on and swap between overlays? Thank you!

I just got into my organization members a new person with access to the Figma that I did not invite, and after seening it I just kicked him. I like to know what was his email to identify posible attacks in the future. I can’t see any information of past members on Figma.

Hello, I’m experiencing issues with a plugin I have built and I’m asking for help to anyone having experience in building Figma plugins. We have published a plugin that expose various components defined in a dedicated Figma library. The plugin allows user to search and drop items such as buttons, input fields, icons etc… to a Figma canva. The goal is to quickly build wireframes while not attaching too much to UI. Our components use properties a lot to allow for variations, especially the instance swap feature to change icons, brand logos, user avatar, etc. We recently started to have issue with the ability to search for instances (no results) while browsing for result works well (expect awful UX with such long list to scroll). After investigating, we believe this is due to recent changes made on the way one can access external libraries. Users need to add the library to their assets in each file, and the library needs to be in their own workspace, forcing some sort of fork of the orig

Hello, I’m having a font issue in Figma. So, here’s the problem. I sometimes get the missing font issue in Figma even though the font is already installed on the system. This problem occurs on both the browser and the Windows app. Looking for a solution to this problem. Thanks

Background I am developing a Local Variables Exporter/Importer Plugin. So, I am having trouble trying to set the scope of a variable in an import process. Questions Exporter for CodeSyntax: variable.codeSyntax for Scopes: variable.scopes Importer for CodeSyntax: variable.setVariableCodeSyntax() for Scopes: ??? Is there a Plugin API method for setting scopes of a variable? I could not find any members that looked like them on this page: Variable | Plugin API I would appreciate your advice. Thanks.

Even if I have the prototype settings set to “No Scrolling” I still see the scrolls section. Is that normal?

Hi everyone, does anybody knows how to export a Figma design into HTML to paste the code on Mailchip? I use a plugin called Figma to HTML but it doesn’t works, and with a huge buggy code Thanks in advance!

Hello, when I practiced on the Auto Layout Playground file, I saw the constraints icon in the position panel on this topic example. However, when I created an auto layout myself, there is no constraints icon in the position panel anymore. Then I clicked other auto layout practice examples on this file and there was no constraints icon as well. Can anyone tell me how to make this icon visible?

i’m not seeing drafts in teams or drafts to move section in sidebar in my account but on my other account i can see this things, kindly help me with this.

I hope this message finds you well. I’m reaching out today regarding a perplexing issue I’m encountering with a Figma prototype, note that this prototype also has videos. I’ve carefully optimized the videos, ensuring each is well below 1MB in size. Despite these efforts, I’m facing significant loading delays both on desktop and mobile, across various browsers. Even on the Figma app for mobile, it’s prompting me with the message that the prototype is large even after reducing the file sizes. To provide more context and seek help, I’m sharing the link to the prototype and artboard: Art-board Link Here are the key points: Optimization: Videos are compressed and trimmed to keep them under 1MB each. Previous Experience: I’ve successfully handled larger prototypes with normal videos in the past. Loading Issue: Regardless of the browser or device, the prototype is taking an unusual amount of time to load. I would greatly appreciate any insights, suggestions, or solutions from the community

Figma introduced some new behavior where, when you add auto layout to a parent frame, child elements of a certain width are automatically set to horizontal fill. Most of the time, this has been helpful and saves me time. However, I generally apply auto layout to my component sets to organize them better, and now when I apply auto layout to a new component set, it applies the new fill rules to the components in the set, which 99% of the time has been exactly what I don’t want to have happen. Usually I want components in the set to remain fixed width, and when they are automatically set to fill, the dimensions are often changed and I have to re-set them. It’s been a pain. So this is worth thinking about, because I’m sure the Figma team doesn’t want to introduce inconsistent behavior for automatically applying auto layout, but in the context of working with component sets I do not want these things to be happening automatically.

I paid for Professional months ago (I’ve got the receipts), but when I go to Figma, it keeps showing me “uprgrade to Professional.” I’ve emailed support over a week ago with multiple follow ups, even called from the phone number on the invoice, but have yet to get any reply. How can I get help? Is anyone supporting the Support email (which we’re told to contact for questions)? I know this is a little snarky, but shouldn’t the UX and e2e experience of Figma also extend to customer’s interaction with Figma too? Happy to provide feedback on the experience and how it can be improved should anyone be interested in hearing customers’ feedback 😃

This frame has a 5 degree rotation. It is under 100% zoom. Everything is jagged, especially the SVG icons and their strokes. The web prototype looks the same. Why is this happening, and what can I do about it? Is there an anti-aliasing setting that needs to be turned on on? Possibly related to Weird font antialiasing since today ?

I am using the owner account of the team. But the owner account email is my personal email, so I’m going to change it to a team-sharing email. If you do Account > change email, the mail changes, but all existing team files and permissions disappear. Can’t I change the owner account email while keeping the file?

After adding a line to the frame the “advanced stroke setting” three dots are not visible. Does anyone know why this might be?

All my drafts are deleted after moving 1 draft to the team space. I can’t other drafts. Links show 404.

My company recently changed our email domain, so my email address changed too. Now, when I log into Figma using Google SSO with the new email, it treats me as a new user and I can’t access any of my old files. The old email is deactivated, so I can’t log in with it anymore to transfer files or anything like that. I submitted a support ticket to Figma a week ago, but I haven’t heard back yet. Does anyone know how I can get my old files transferred to my new email? Thanks in advance!

Can not open any file or tutorials, after about 30s it’ll return to the dashboard and show an error message “an error occurred while opening editor”

Hi guys today I opened Figma and then found ALL of my files missing(as pictures in the following). I have checked the recently deleted, drafts all the spaces, still wouldn’t find any of my files. Is it my fault that I didn’t sort every file into team space and left them all in “recents”? Super panic right now hope anyone would give me advices

Hi Figma community! I have this advance button interaction that opens an overlay for the user to go into another UI flow. but I wanted the button to go back to its “incomplete” state (Orange badge) when the overlay is closed and not to go into the “complete” state (Green badge). here’s what I did using conditional prototyping (I’m still new to this): If Click (boolean) open overlay change to = Complete else [empty] here is the video I made regarding the problem I faced: help - figma
