I’ve been building out some interactive prototypes in Figma and working with a team that uses a sandboxed environment for launching and testing desktop app behavior. We're trying to ensure that the UI flow feels native even in isolated test environments where system hooks are limited.One tool that's come up in our workflow is the bloxstrap launcher, which helps manage these kinds of setups. While it’s not directly tied to Figma, it’s been helpful for replicating conditions that affect how our app will behave once deployed on Windows machines with tighter controls.Has anyone else used sandbox or custom launchers while testing Figma-to-production workflows? Curious if there’s a more integrated way to bridge Figma with those kinds of environments.Appreciate any insights!

I have a collection of 300+ variables and I need to connect the base values inside to another library, it seems that only the variable Id is exposed and not static, so I’m struggling to find how to do it. Ideal behaviourLoop through all variables in a collection Get the id of the value in that variable Match to a map with a replacement Swap the variable value with the new one

The API token generation button is not active. What's the reason?

Hi, From the doc, i understood that submitting a paid plugin that makes use of Figma in-house paid system is only available to accepted publisher, and that Figma is currently not accepting any new publisher, is that correct ? so the only way to make a paid plugin would be to do the payment via a 3rd party ? And if so, is it required to provide any specific information during publication, or just submit it under the Community Free Resource License ? Thanks in advance.

Hi, Today I noticed that viewers were unable to copy from some files. However, when I toggle the checkbox, Figma doesn’t save the change. After a while, it reverts to untoggled. Some of my files belong to a published library and do not have an owner.

Hi!I keep pressing Ctrl + Q instead of Ctrl + A, and it ends up quitting the entire desktop app (on Windows). I looked into the keyboard shortcut customization interface but I could’t find this shortcut listed. Is it possible to remap or disable this Quit shortcut in the desktop app ?    Thanks!

Hi,I just wanted to ask if i will be able to use Figma sites with my educational plan or not. Figma sites actually looks fantastic :)

Hi,I am looking into some docs to create a plugin … I would like to make another “Copy as” feature to match our component development platform. I took the tutorials (orange rectangle party), added webpack bundling and started exploring the API.When using getMainComponentAsync from one of the nodes it goes wrong, the function returns nothing, I get no exceptions and execution just stops.It’s weird ‘cause I can do this from the console in figma but not from my plugin, any suggestions?Is a plugin the right way to achieve what I want ? Oh, I have dynamic-page set … otherwise the asyncs wont work ;-) TxY.

I believe the image bellow will explain the entirety of the issue + an explanation.

We have 4-5 Figma files with different colours styles (because the maximum groups of colour variables can be just 4 in a Figma file). We whitelabel our site, thats why we have plenty of groups of colour variables.So we have 4-5 Figma files with different groups of colour variables. For one of our customers we did a unique screen design for a unique service (we created another Figma file for them, because they have unique colour combos as well). Now we would like if this feature would be in our general template as well, but when I copy the screen design (frame), it brings the original colour variables, that won’t be a big problem if I would be able to change that to the ones where I pasted it. But I can’t!!! Attached screenshots:The original colour groups:  After the frame paste - the colour variables:There are the original (“Created in this file”) and there are the pasted one (“Reffle/Paramount_2”)  When I want to change the colour variable of the pasted frame the only options are:  Pl

This question was posted a while back, and never answered.  I’m having the same issue.  I’ve created a component with 3 variants.  From within a variant, I want to navigate to another frame in my prototype.  But, this isn’t working.  Any tips?  Or, maybe this can’t be done?

I want to prototype the generation of text that animates after submitting an AI prompt. In other words– when you type a prompt into Chat GPT and hit submit, the words begin to appear one after another as the response is created. I would like to understand an easy way to to this.

Hi Figma Community! Basically, I have a bunch of one size icons as variants in a component - they all have an auto layout frame applied to them. I want to use the icons throughout my design, but in different sizes. However, I don’t want to create varying sizes within the main component, as there would be too many icons and it would look messy. So what I normally do is: Create another test component using the icon with another element (for example, with a CTA here) Scale the icon using the scale tool (larger as an example here) Then instance swap it and it usually adheres to the new scaled size that I give it. However, recently, this method hasn’t been working and the instance just retains the same size as its original parent varient. *As a note, the icon starts scaling properly if I detatch the instance. Which ideally I don’t want to be doing, as I may have changes to the test component that I need reflected throughout the file. Can anyone assist in finding why this is, that would be

Hello,I just want to ask about the steps to sell on Figma community, when I start publishing the checkbox “sell this resource on community” is disabled, any ideas?

The svg_include_node_id property doesn't exist in the Pulgin API's ExportAsync method when exporting to SVG, but it is present in the REST API's GET image endpoint. Can we please have the property in the Plugin API as well? The svg_include_id property isn't enough to map figma nodes to SVG elements. It will be very helpful if the property can be added to the Plugin API.Plugin API SVG Export SettingsREST API GET Image SVG Settings 

Hi, Why can we not use naming that matches JSON when creating tokens? My developers cannot just copy paste the tokens since the naming is different.  

Hey Guys,I am not being able to use Brandfetch plugin. Is something wrong with this plugin? I searched online and it has not been closed too. Can somebody help me out in this? It shows something like this in all of the similar kind of plugins 

I’ve got variable strings where I need to display a portion of the string as a link, or bold. Normally I would just be able to select the text and style accordingly, but doing so with a variable string breaks the link to the variable. I could break the string up into various parts, stylizing the individual parts as needed, but when you are dealing with a paragraph of text it would be impossible to keep the various parts reading like a paragraph (unbroken) as string lengths change, and then I am also dealing with translations/localization which moves parts around.

When i updated new figma version, i can not find variables tab anymore, or missed any step to find it?
