In UI3, where can use set a boolean (show/hide) property to a object in a component?

In the old UI, it was here: In the new UI, a button that looks similar in the “Appearance” group (which has no tooltip) just brings up a list of variables. I’m probably looking right at it, but I don’t see it. Not sure what applying a variable here would even do.

Latest variable update has not been ideal and has made my figma abit buggy

Since the latest variable update, the way to add a property to a bunch of variables in my component has become alot more complex. Now i can’t select multiple and add in a property but i find i have to rename it in my layers panel for the option to show up in the properties panel, and then apply that property to all the other ones. Unsure if related to the variable update, but now when i go back into my projects i find parts of my designs are literally blank until i double click the component then it refreshes and comes back? it’s very strange. Also moving the ‘go to main component’ button has been really annoying as now i have to right click to go back when i used to just be able to click the shortcut button. If there was a way to customise my shortcuts that would be ideal.

Prototype hovers get stuck

Greetings! I’d like to report a bug I’ve been noticing for a long time now in Figma’s prototypes. When viewing prototypes, components’ hover-interations would get stuck. Once components transition to a hover state, they wouldn’t transition back on mouse leave (when I move the cursor away). So every component that has a hover freezes in it’s hover state once I move the cursor in. The issue usually gets resolved when I reload the prototype tab, but it comes back from time to time, I’ve had this bug multiple times today already. I’m working with pretty large artboards that have a fair number of components and a lot of them have hovers, so reloading a tab takes some time. I’ve noticed this issue in multiple files, different projects, etc — it just kinda happens sometimes. I’m assuming it mostly affects larger files. Figured I’d post about it here, there might be someone else experiencing the same issue. If possible, perhaps there’s a chance someone could look into it. Thanks 🙂 Best

New method for counting plugin users will force a large number of new plugin developers to quit

I am a plug-in developer. Recently, I have observed that the growth rate of my plug-in users has dropped significantly. At first, I thought it was an isolated case. When I observed the data of some other popular plug-ins, I found that this was an overall change. All plug-ins are like this, but the degree of change is different. And I noticed that the growth rate of my plug-in’s loved has not only not dropped, but has even grown faster than before. I think it should be that Figma has changed the way it counts the number of users. In the past, you only needed to start the plug-in to be counted as a user, but now, users need to reach a certain level of activity in the plug-in to be counted? This is originally a more reasonable way of counting, which can effectively filter out invalid users. But this is unfair and devastating to new plug-ins. No matter what Figma’s original intention was to update the statistical rules, for users, the number of plug-in users is still the most important ind

Managing and keeping track of a student account

Hello! I recently successfully verified myself as a student to get access to a professional plan. However, when browsing through my account, I couldn’t find a certain place in which I could verify my account status as a student, nor I can find how to check for how long it will last. I know that I can now create new professional workspaces, as well as upgrade my free one. However, before updating my workspace, I’d like to know if there’s a way to keep track of not only when and how it expires, but also if there’s anything I have to be aware of when/if it downgrade back to a free space (such as members losing access to files, or anything that could reorganize my files and projects in an unexpected way). Thank you from advance 🙂

Set bound variable for Typography

Hi 👋 Using variables for setting fonts are cool and helps our design system a lot. But is there any way to set bound variables for text properties via Plugin API? It’s complex read-only property and simple setBoundVariable() does not work. We don’t have known methods like setBoundVariableForFont(). Can we wait for Plugin API to support typography variables any time soon? List of properties I can’t manage to set: fontFamily, letterSpacing, fontSize, paragraphSpacing, paragraphIndent, fontWeight, lineHeight and unexpectedly stroke for sections 😀

Absolutely positioned element position change after deleting & undoing frame

I’ve noticed that position of an absolutely elements within a frame get messed up after you delete the frame and undo. They are no longer in the original coordinate after undo. It doesn’t always happen, but it seems to happen when you delete a large number of frames (via cmd+a, delete, and cmd+z). Attached is the impacted screen. instead of the sticky / floating nav bar remaining bottom aligned to its autolayout container, it gets pushed even further down and gets clipped. Sometimes it gets pushed ‘up’ as well. This issue has existed for a few years. As long as I remember.

Stupid non-optimized solution

bitch I just can’t fucking stand it anymore, do the Figma developers even use Figma or not? why do you constantly ruin something that works fine, why should I automatically activate search when switching to dev mode? just stupidly why? have you ever asked yourself this question? now when I need to exit dev mode, I need to make some extra click every time so as not to activate input, which is absolutely useless there, to exit dev mode, get to work already, you get paid for this…

Problem with components properties variants

Dear Community, I have a problem with a variant property in Figma. I made a card as a component with different sizes and states. States and sizes are variants with different values: e.g. variant “size” with value “320w” or “480w” and each variant has a different state “default”, “selected” with blue color. I placed the different cards on a screen (as instant of the component “card” with the properties “320w” and state “default” and tested it, there are cards with different values of ther property on a screen. I selected the right card with the right variant (size, vstate) in design mode, but in protoype mode there are suddenly differnt cards from other variants on the screen. I don´t know where the problem is?

Adding meta data to a component instance

I’m looking for a way to add meta data to component instances. So like instance specific documentation, which is available in the inspect panel to viewers. Is there any way to do such a thing in Figma? Thanks in advance! 🙂

Figma treating master component as a copy of a deleted component - (Showing "Publish as copy" when publishing)

I made a component in a file (let’s call it “File A”), and then at some point I think I moved the component (with cut + paste) to my component library file (“File B”). I have since deleted File A (permanently deleted in trash too), as I was only using it as a working file. Now, when I’m wanting to publish the master component from File B, I always see “Publish as copy” next to the component, along with a greyed out “Move to this file” option. The problem: File A no longer exists and this component is not a “copy” of any component. How can I get rid of this prompt? It makes me nervous, as if there’s some ghost component somewhere that I have no control over, and the “Publish as copy” language is confusing. Looking for any help. This feels like a bug - is there any fix?

Cannot edit objects after last update

After latest update I’m experiencing intermittent bugs: Often shapes cannot be edited. Pressing enter does nothing, button to edit object is not available. This happens when editing master components in file that I own, so it should be editable and was editable before update. When shape is not bugged and can be edited, pressing enter sometimes does not show points. Sometimes it works as expected - usually on first attempt to edit it is bugged, on second it works. Anyone experiencing same bugs?

bug: layer order ignored on animated components when 'fixed' positioned

Setting the scene: I’ve got an ‘after delay’ animated component that is fixed position over a sidebar (also fixed position). This page is scrollable, so the main content is longer than the frame size (This is important) The problem: These components have some animation on them. When the animation starts, it ignores the layer order and does the animation underneath the sidebar. Once the animation has stopped, they then get set to be above the sidebar. This means you don’t see the animation and the component is invisible until it ‘stops’ the animations. fixes (Hacks): create an entire ‘sidebar’ component and have the animated components inside that group or frame all of the components. my understanding of why its doing this: With my limited understanding of how Figma is built, it seems like the z-index is being applied at the fixed layers route level items but not to the animations, causing animations to be displayed “bottom first” and then swapped once the animation has ended. Z-index

Variables group are flatten when moved or reordered in the variable panel

Here is an example of what it does : If I move the Avatar group one time no problem; If I move it another time, the group is flattened : all groups or variable inside are in the level 0 of the tree. If only a tool could sort variables alphabetically 🙂

Project keeps reverting to old version of components

I published components from Project A and am using them in Project B. When I’m in Project B I get an “update components” notification and when I update it reverts to an OLD version of the components. The same is true for variants. we have an accent variable that was switched from an old color to a new color, and every time I update components in Project B, it reverts to the old color. EDIT: when I click “go to main component” it goes to the perfectly fine component. if I copy it from there and cmd+shift+R it into Project B, I’ll get the same godforsaken notification that “updates are available” and the updates will revert to the old trash version. wish someone would click “revert” on the Figma codebase.
