Hi there,

I am experiencing an issue while prototyping for TV.
I have setup a way to open a link after delay (1ms).
Even though this worked before and is still working for the links I have already set up,
I can’t change the links now.
Once I try and change a link, the interaction jumps to ‘on click’.
The ‘after delay’ choice in the dropdown menu is not greyed out.

I know it is very specific, but has anyone experienced this issue?
Did Figma remove this option in the last update?

Thanks in advance

Hey All, sorry for the continued trouble and frustration!

If you’re running into this bug and can consistently reproduce, can you please submit a bug report to our support team directly via the form here? https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374

With your help, we’ll be able to add more context to the existing bug report. To be transparent, this is now a long-standing bug, so it may take some time for them to resolve. From our initial investigation, we discovered that there are some limitations that prevent “Open link” from working well in conjunction with the “On delay” trigger.

As a temporary solution, you can wrap the “Open link” action in an always-true if statement that triggers after a delay.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience in the interim and appreciate your patience while the team works to make changes.
