I’m building a plugin that adds some reactions to Figma design components. It mostly works, but I’m stuck on getting overlays to work right.I’m looking for documentation or examples for how to setoverlayPositionType: “MANUAL” overlayBackgroundInteraction: “CLOSE_ON_CLICK_OUTSIDE”It looks like these are supposed to be set on the Frame that my Action points to. But I can only find readonly versions of these settings in, for example, FrameNode API docs.What’s the trick for setting these programmatically?Here’s the snippet defining the reaction: const reactions = [ ...fromNode.reactions ]; reactions.push({ trigger: { type: "ON_CLICK" }, actions: [{ type: "NODE", destinationId: ov

I have vector shapes selected. When typing “subtract” in the Actions search field, the action doesn’t show up in the list of options. When typing other vector boolean actions, like “union” or “intersect”, they do show up.This occurs in both desktop app as well as in the browser. Subtract would show up in the list of Action options in the previous version of Figma. 

I’m building a site and when I go into preview mode or publish the site, Figma changes/reformats my fonts.. is this a bug or am I missing something ? 

Hi everyone! I'm fairly new to Figma, but I'm starting to get the hang of it. However, I’ve run into an issue with the hover interaction. I've used it throughout my project without any problems, but now, any new components I create with a hover state are flickering when hovered over. It's confusing because the same interaction has worked fine until now. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it? I'd really appreciate any help!

Stroked elements (such as form fields) are not working in fill containers in responsive prototypes. The issue started on April 8th.

If I cancel my figma pro subscription, are all my websites that I created and published with it going to be deleted and unpublished?

Hello Figma Users, I am Lead designer and while designing the product in figma I found glitch that there is no proper syncing between the library file and design file. Detailed description : I have created one main component in the library file and I published the library without any error and now there is no more any changes in library file and publish button get disable because everything in the library file has been published. Now when I am in the design file, I couldn’t see any pending updates in the design file because I already updated the library file into the design file so there is no more pending updates however all the changes which I made in the component doesn’t reflects in the design file instance of that main component. I tried lots of ways to do, I spent lots of time even though I couldn’t find anything. I tried to quit figma and restart, changed the internet connection if there was any network issue, close the working file a

The Problem When I am in the edit mode of an annotation and try to click the more actions icon (...) to access the more action menu, no menu appears. It doesn’t matter if it’s an existing annotation or a newly created one, the menu won’t appear when triggered. When annotations was first released I remember being able to access the menu. Now it no longer works. To ReproduceLocate an annotation or create a new one. Once located/created, double click the notation to activate edit mode. Once in edit mode, tap the icon that looks like an ellipses (...) to trigger the more actions menu. Screenshot of menu icon within annotation edit mode. Completed troubleshooting stepsQuit a

How do I generate a color palette or color swatches, selecting a needed frame with applied raw colors? 

Someone can explain this behavior of the frame? Why we see the whole rectangle?

It’s something tremendous. I can’t leave “Present mode” (not Prototype) and in order to do that I ask about it on the forum. People scold photoshop, but sorry I never experienced so primitive problems there. It’s a big shame for figma.

I created a file for work, there were my layouts. As a user, I was in a corporate team, and after leaving this team, my personal file disappeared, which was not inside the corporate Figma. I search for it by name, I search in the list of deleted, and it is nowhere. How can I restore access to it? I tried to return to the corporate team to find the file, but this did not give results, it simply does not exist. Although I remember its name exactly, I can not restore it. I once had a similar situation when a file disappeared after leaving corporate mail, but then I had a link to it and could go in, but now there is no link, and how can I restore access to it? I tried the option when I rejoined the team in Figma, but this did not give a result.

Hi,I have a professional plan with 5 seats and my team has several projects.I need to add an external user (that already has a seat in another team inside Figma, but not my team), just to strictly edit a specific project inside my team. I don’t want this user to have access to other projects inside my team.How can I do that?Thanks

Can a designer select which language “Figma Make” generates?   Can “Figma Make” generate Java & Kotlin?

Hi,I need to update some details on my widget, but I'm encountering an error in the Advanced tab of the edit popup. However, I can't find any visible issue there—there's no red highlight or alert to indicate what's wrong. 

Hi! I first had this problem today, with designs that previously published correctly: center-aligned frames are publishing as left-aligned divs. See example below showing (top to bottom) 1) Previewing page within Figma Sites, 2) Autolayout settings, 3) Published page as displayed in Chrome  

Hello,I'm writing to let you know that I just launched my online portfolio, and two people using Safari are experiencing issues accessing the site.For them, the site loads poorly and keeps reloading in a loop. Everything works fine on my end, but both of them had the same issue—one on a computer and the other on a phone. Another person tried it on a tablet (also using Safari), and it worked without any problems.Since this is my portfolio, I want to make sure that everyone can access it properly.I'm sharing the link with you: https://www.claramistou.frThank you very much for your help,Clara

I'm building a component configuration where images use specific aspect ratios. By default, the aspect ratio is set to 3:2, and a Placeholder component inside the image enforces this ratio.To manage this, I created a variable called default-aspect-ratio and use it in the component's prop.Since I'm working in a multi-branded design system, different brands will use different aspect ratios.Is it possible to redefine the same default-aspect-ratio variable within each brand’s handoff file, so it overrides the original, without using modes or other mechanisms?Or is that a limitation of the system?

Hi all,Love the new figma Buzz feature.There two things I’m missing currently:I’m working with a CSV with variable fields - some contain content, some don’t. But when importing a csv sometimes the empty cells aren’t recognized and Buzz still adds content to it. If there are multiple empty cells; only the first one is left empty, the rest is left untouched. The other thing is this: I would like Buzz to remember which fields are linked to which column/row - now when i run into an error I have to reupload the csv file and link every field again. If I miss one and the import fails, I have to start all over again - allowing for a similar mistake again. Would be amazing if Buzz could recognize the column titles and remember these, spot differences. An extra feature request would be to be able to hide or show layers based on content in a cell: i.e. if the cell contents are /hide to hide the entire frame. This is a feature in the free Google Shee

Hi,I’m preparing specs in Figma Desktop (v125.4.9) for a Button component with 180 variants (sizes, states, colors, etc.).I remember being able to Alt-drag the component (on Mac) or use an "Insert all variants" option, which would instantly place all variant instances on the canvas.Now when I Alt-drag, it duplicates the entire component, not instances.Was this feature removed or moved?Is there any plugin or workaround to insert all variants at once?Manually placing 180 variants isn’t practical. Any tips appreciated!

Here’s the feedback content: When using a plugin API to retrieve the font size of text within an instance, the value obtained is 24 before selecting the text layer. However, after operating to select this text layer, using the same method to retrieve the font size yields 12. Could you please explain why this discrepancy occurs? This issue affects the consistency of font size data retrieved by plugins before and after layer selection, which may lead to unexpected behavior in plugin functionality. Your clarification or resolution would be greatly appreciated. 

Hi Figma Team,I encountered an issue where the Export button on the right corner is not functioning. When I hover over it, the cursor changes into a text cursor (I-beam) instead of the usual pointer, and clicking the button doesn't trigger any export action.This behavior is unexpected and is affecting my workflow. Please let me know if there's a workaround or when a fix might be expected.Thanks for your support!

Hi! In design mode, when I select an object with a Move tool (V) and then click K to select a scale tool, scale factor input field is already in focus and I can quickly scale whatever, for example, by pressing K + ½ + Enter.How it works in Design mode after I selected with Move tool and clicked K onceHowever, when I tried the same in Draw mode, it didn’t work as a scale factor input field is not put in focus right after I click K button and thus I need to click K again to get this field focused.How it looks in Draw mode after I selected with Move tool and clicked K onceIs it supposed to work this way or is it a bug? 

When typing in Japanese and trying to go back to edit in the middle of a sentence, the cursor jumps to the end of the line. It’s frustrating because you have to delete the misplaced text and then manually return to where you were. The only workaround is typing the correction at the end, and then copy-pasting it back into place — which is a huge waste of time, especially when writing multiple comments.Ref: https://x.com/ken_tbdz/status/1790201098558407013Also, although I couldn't record it, there’s another bug where the whole text gets duplicated without line breaks. Again, this messes up formatting and forces you to spend extra time cleaning things up.I understand Japanese input might not be a priority, and maybe this only affects Japanese users — but please please please fix this. It’s seriously impacting usability. Thank you!
