Automatic "detach instance" ruin my file

Some weeks ago, I noticed that all my instances have detached themselves from their parent’s composant with no reasons, asking me a big amount of time to recreate each instance. And it happened again. I don’t understand and don"t find any similar case in the forum. Any idea about how it happens and how to fix it ? Thanks.

Get Feedback in Figma, Docs & Slack? Me too so I made a tool that brings them all together in a list & kanban board

Heya, I wanted to share this free tool Figma (https://briefmatic.com/) that I started building for myself and recently some of my figmates 😃 It’s an app that aggregates all unresolved comments from all your Figma work (and your other apps too) all into one place, so you can stay on top of your work. It’s amazing what I’ve been able to do with a bit of REACT and a MUI app theme template 😉 When I first connected my account I was shocked at the amount of feedback and comments I had missed! Kinda scary. 😜 I’ve made it all connect to Google Drive, Gmail, Slack and Google Calender to pull in comments, mentions, and starred messages so I can stay on top of all my actions and todos. It’s totally free to use. I’ve got lots more planned, would love to hear your feedback on what you think and how to improve it - https://briefmatic.com/

Issue with smart animate in Autolayout

Hello! I am having trouble with components that I want to smart animate. Example: one button that grows while hovering on it. If I choose to smart animate it, then the page will reset the scroll position to the top. The little box for “Reset scroll position” in the interaction is unticked. This doesn’t happen when I select “Instant” instead. It’s quite troublesome because the only thing I can really smart animate inside of my prototypes are things that don’t change the size in the y axis (I can make a button grow horizontally only, or change the opacity, colours, etc.). Any clues how this cloud be solved? Am I doing anything wrong? Edit: All the frames in my prototypes were created with Autolayout.

Problem with shortcuts in Saved Plugins menu

Hi! Recently I’ve encountered the problem that my hotkeys that are assigned to the Saved Plugins menu in macOS keyboard settings or in BetterTouchTool no longer work for the second/third level of the menu. It looks like the developers made the menu load on click and the hotkey doesn’t work. Shortcuts only works if I open the Plugins menu with my cursor beforehand. In video it for Plugins->Saved plugins->Copy and Paste Text->Paste Text Link to video overview https://community.folivora.ai/uploads/default/original/3X/6/4/648d9ca798815d73e150ebad682885cc831e5fcb.mp4 iMac 18,3 MasOS Sonoma 14.0 Figma Desktop App version 116.13.3

Detecting auto spacing using the plugin API

Is it possible to detect if a nodes itemSpacing property is set to AUTO in the Figma UI? Currently, reading the itemSpacing property of a node passes back the number the layout would adopt if auto was turned off (e.g. for the node selected in the attached screenshot, the API would return itemSpacing:271) I can’t see anything about AUTO spacing in the API documentation. Is this just not supported?

Buttons' Hover State Not Working in Preview

After changing the button’s text, the prototype stops working (hover state ). And the funniest part is that when I add a “g” letter to the text (ContactgSales), it starts working. 😶 How can I make it work?

Copying content to another page with separate variants of components

I want to copy a lo-fi prototype into another page and start editing it into a hi-fi prototype. My lo-fi prototype has components that carry over into the hi-fi page become instances. I’d like the structure to remain the same within the hi-fi page, so I can make edits there without changing things in the lo-fi page, and without having to manually change every single connection between instances and components. Is there an easy way to do this? I just want to keep the same structure, in a new page, and start changing things there without affecting previous work. You can do it individually one by one, but I can’t imagine someone with many components would want to do that. Thanks!

Adding a Property Breaks and Reverts Components

How to keep color variant from component when doing an instance swap

Is there a foolproof way to make sure that the colour variant from the component is kept when swapping a nested instance? I have a blue button with a white icon, when I swap the icon it reverts to the original colour of the icons. The icons are a font, not vector. They all have the same structure (see screenshot). The font is a style, and the icons have a colour variant assigned to it as well, would that be the problem?

How to make component scroll under fixed header?

Hello, I couldn’t find any info on this so here I go looking for a solution. So, I have a fixed header on my app, I added a pop-up component that has to stay on during the scrolling. But when I scroll down the component goes over the header and I can’t see how I can make it scroll it underneath. I don’t know if the issue is clear but I can’t upload any attachments as a newbie in the community. Do you know if is something fixable or if I have to go around in some other way? Thank you in advance! 😉

Create new branch for file via REST API

I would really like to see the ability to create new branches for an existing file via the REST API. This is particularly important when implementing Figma variables via the REST API since the REST API is a prime opportunity for automating workflows for design and developer collaboration and unification. For example, our team is actively working to implement this basic workflow: Contributor updates tokens in our token repository When tokens are released, a build script converts tokens to Figma variable format and creates / updates them via the REST API This process would help to ensure our design resources are up-to-date. However, the issue with this approach is that POSTing to the REST API automatically updates the file’s local variables, and the designer is not informed of the updates. This creates a situation where designers have no ability to manage or be informed of changes that occur in the file. In an ideal world, every time we run the script to POST our tokens to Figma, we wo

My prototype wont link interactions to a flow starting point

I have a prototype I’m working on for my portfolio, and for whatever reason I can’t add interactions to the flow starting point or the interactions just won’t connect to the flow. I’ve tried duplicating the file, deleting the flow interactions and beginning again. I’ve also experimented with creating the connections directly from the flow by adding them and that doesn’t get me the desired results. I’m at a loss. When I click into the prototype to play it, it will only show me the starting point screen.
