Issue SummaryI'm experiencing a strange issue related to variables and component instances in Figma. The behavior of variables differs depending on whether they're attached directly to objects or used within components.Details When I attach a variable (string, color, boolean, or number) directly to an object (e.g., text or rectangle) or its properties (e.g., layer visibility), everything works as expected. Updating the variable's value immediately reflects on the object. However, when those same objects are part of a component and the values are defined as properties, the component instance does not update when I change the variable values. Additionally, behavior becomes inconsistent in the component instance: changing the value of one variable (e.g., a number) can unexpectedly trigger updates to other properties (e.g., string, boolean, or color) — especially if those variables were changed previously, before modifying the triggering variable. Environment The issue started occurrin

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone figured out how to use modes to switch icon sets. So let’s say I have Brand A and Brand B in my modes, and the colors and spacing change when I switch brands. Can I also somehow make the mode switch my icons? (in a way thats actually feasible to use over the long run). Like an edit button that has a pencil icon: both brands would have different pencil icons, both named exactly the same. And switching brands would swap one for the other.

Does anyone have suggestions?

Hi Figma, You have delivered a big update for the admin dashboard and yes, it looks good. But we have a big problem because we lost the “last edit” column which really helps us to cancel the seat. I know it's possible to filter by last edit, but it's very fuzzy and we've lost a lot of information.The only options are now: All timeMore than 3 months agoMore than 6 months agoMore than a year agoThe last editing column with detailed information about the number of days/months was much more helpful.Pls give us the column back. Best regards

So below are some screenshots of vectors I’m trying to get out of illustrator and into Figma, when I export to SVG from illustrator, then illustrator itself sometimes causes these weird artifacts, but for some reason copying the vector data to the clipboard and pasting that into figma usually does the job, not always unfortunatelyRight now this seems to happen constantly, these gaps may not seem that big a deal, but they become extremely obvious when put on a bright background, and when these vectors are scaled up, so are the gaps, making them even more noticeable.For now I can deal with this, but I’m eventually going to need a workaround for this issue, any ideas?  

I am an Android developer.During the transformation of the framework from sketch to pygma, we found that the sp/dp unit units can only be changed by 1/3, 3x.Our service requires 1/4 and 4 multiples of the development unit, so if this part is not resolved, there is an issue that the design team has to modify all the screens.There are two questions.1. Is there a plug-in to fix this?2. Can you add 1/4x and 4x sp/dp development unit multiple in Figma?I hope a good solution will be found.Thank you.

Hi, I created a set of icons that are used as instance swaps for an icon component. For now they are Bootstrap icons. All of them are flattened vectors and each is a component on it’s own. There is no auto layout inside the icon instances. I tried inplementing it and setting the size to fill, but that didn’t change anything. I then made variants of the icon component. If the icon is just outlined or filled, the color and the size. The size and the fill work perfectly but the size is giving me issues. The original size of all of the icons is 16x16px. Then I scaled the component to 36x36px and set that as the “L” variable. Most of the icons scale normally, but some icons just don’t want to scale. It’s always the same icons no matter if they are outlined or filled in. In the screenshot all variables are set the same for the two icons on the right, except for the icon instance. But the Graph icon retained it’s size while the circular icon defaulted back to it’s original 16x16px size.What c

When sharing annotation links with team members (full and dev seats), they’re not directed to the linked annotation but rather to the file thumbnail.Is this a bug? How do we share specific annotations?Thanks

How do you make the header disappear when scrolling down then appear when scrolling up?

 Hello,I am a user of the Figma web version, and I have recently encountered a serious issue. I am unable to copy and paste design elements properly. For instance, when I copy a button from one frame and paste it elsewhere on the same page, only the button's text appears, while all styles and properties are lost. This issue is not limited to buttons—it also affects all components and typography.Please guide me on how to resolve this issue, and I would appreciate it if you could address and fix the problem.Thank you for your support. 

Dear Figma representatives, you periodically survey whether billing is fair. NO. We are receiving a bill for 5 users that do not exist for our Organization plan. On top of our actual use, we are billed for $45x5x12 = $2700 total loss for ghost users we don’t have. This is unfair and beyond. Possibly classified as illegal/theft in the EU. We will have to consult our legal departement and come back with the conclusion. Here is our actual used licenses count, followed by your sneaky attempt to prevent retaliation against unfairness you are clearly aware about: Here is your pricing page. No mention of unfairly paying for ghost seats. Because you know it’s unfair and you are afraid to mention it. Here is pricing again, on feature comparison list: Again, no mention of unfairly paying for ghost seats. Not anywhere else on the pricing page you dare to mention unfair pricing you charge. You claim that we agreed in our contract to pay for ghost seats. Highly doubtable and to be investigated,

Hello Community! I’m working on the Advanced Prototyping Playground community file, learning how to bind variants to string variables… The instructions seem easy enough, though they were created using the old UI, but for the life of me I just can’t get the interaction to work properly... Has anyone recently tried and succeeded in this exercise? Here is the community file, the frame is called “Try binding these variants.”https://www.figma.com/community/file/1234939241273272375/advanced-prototyping-playground Thanks in advance!

 if I try to reorder a collection, I am actually draging the variables window behind the popup.

I subscribed to the Professional plan because I want to use it individually, but I'm seeing a message that says the team is locked.I’ve already removed all previous members (2), so I’m not sure why this is happening. Could you please help me unlock the team or let me know what steps I need to take to resolve this?Thank you!

 My Education plan changed from free Professional to Starter. What should I do please?

I am able to make a connection, but when I try to play out the prototype it is not working. I am trying to make a back arrow that goes back to the homepage for each page of the app. How do I fix this? I attached an example of one of the pages with the back arrow.

Anyone knows how to remove these lines?Its not a ruler. Seems to be a fixed ruler inside a card (Not a component). 

I’ve had this issue a few times now. I can’t find anyone else with this issue in forums, but my team members see the same issue from their end. When I try to lower the opacity or fill, it either shows as 100% or 0%. In the frame above you can see what I’m going for, but in that one I just put a separate rectangle underneath everything else because I had no idea how to fix it.Any help on this would be greatly appreciated🕺

Hi guys, I’m working on a file that I created months ago and suddenly today it stopped working properly. I work in polish and all the diactrical marks (ą, ę, ć etc.) in every place suddenly stopped rendering properly and are replaced by default font. I tried restarting both Figma and my PC (Win 11), reinstalling fonts and Figma but nothing helps for now. Any idea what’s going on and how to fix it? It’s quite an issue for me as I can’t generate proper graphics and suddenly I need to move back to Illustrator to get my work done…

I am a developer and designed a plugin for a Figma. Do we have any tool to run the QA automation tests on the plugin before releasing to production

i am creating a codegen plugin to generate code from Figma design. i would like to write some unit test cases for it? how i can do this using jest?

I want to make an animation where an user taps on an item, and it opens a slide-in with the item details like the pics I attached, but I don’t want the slide-in to come from the far edge of the screen, I want it to appear from the left of the “Order Details” frame.I tried making an open-overlay with move-in animation, but I can't figure out how to make it appear from anywhere other than the very edge.Also here’s a video of the problem with the prototype I made: Does anyone know how to solve this? Thank you!  

Hi, I have been trying that cursor move(without clicks) makes video in background play/stop .Although I tried to apply mouse enter/move out in tiles covering whole space, but video keep playing once stop in a tile.

I’ve been playing around with calendar-style UI designs lately and wanted to bring in an iCal-inspired layout. I found this use ical template free resource, which is technically for CapCut, but I’m curious if anyone has tried adapting that kind of layout or style into a Figma design.I’m hitting a few snags trying to recreate the spacing and structure visually without it feeling cluttered. Has anyone here tackled a similar challenge or have tips on clean calendar grid design in Figma?Appreciate any input!
