Dynamic height for auto layout wrap

In Figma, I’m working with a design that involves three cards within an auto layout configuration. My goal is to achieve two key behaviors: Equal Height Across Cards: When these cards are aligned next to each other horizontally, they should all maintain an equal height, ensuring a uniform appearance. Content-Dependent Sizing: In scenarios where the cards do not share a row (e.g., when viewed on a narrower screen or in a different layout context), each card should adjust its height dynamically to snugly fit its content. Is it possible to configure auto layout wrap to accommodate these requirements? Specifically, I’m looking for a way to make the containers simultaneously fill available height when aligned together and adjust to hug their content when they’re not sharing the same row.

Text box is not responsive when set Max or Min width

Hi, I am wondering if I am doing anything wrong with a text box autolayout. Before when I set Max or Min width, it would respond when I resize the frame. Is there a different setting now? Below is the video link for your viewing

An error occurred while loading the plugin environment

Hi there! I published a plugin and am waiting for the review. When I try to launch the In-development version, it starts without any problems, but when I choose the published version (the one in the review), I get: An error occurred while loading the plugin environment. At the same time, I have another plugin that was successfully published, and I can open both versions without any errors. Is there something I’m doing wrong, or is it expected to return this error before the plugin is published to the community? Thank you.

Slicing function when used on text cuts edge of image

When using the Export function directly from text, the resulting .png file is slightly cutting/cropping the text (both on the bottom and the right-hand side of the resulting .png file.) It is subtle and maybe just 1pm but the resulting file looks like it was badly just badly cropped. The font in question is “Days One”. Can’t share image here for proprietary reasons but wondering if others have run into this issue.

Design system + prototyping best practices?

Hi, I work on enterprise software and have been using Figma for about 4 years. I’m looking for best practices around prototyping with components from a library. Example: The design system is a published library The design system contains all the usual things inc. a nav component Work on a new feature is being done in a separate file When prototyping the site or app in the work file using the nav from the design system, I’ve been: wrapping the design system nav in a local component linking nav items to all the pages in the local nav placing instances of the local nav on all the pages tweaking each instance of the local nav so it lights the correct menu item for the page its on This works fine, but there’s lots of spaghetti code. It seems like I’m missing something. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Figma API file endpoint request timeout

When hitting the file endpoint, I am getting a 400 error with an error message of Request timeout, try a smaller request. In Figma, I am able to access this file so it isn’t private or anything. Could this be that the file is just too large?

Figma keeps saying I'm Offline

Figma keeps saying I’m offline and that it’s not syncing any changes, even when I have very fast and consistent internet connection (Zoom, Slack, CreativeCloud all work fine). And what’s strange is that it’s only for one project at a time. I have four different projects open and the others are syncing fine. And it’s not always the same project that has trouble syncing. Last week it was a different one that wasn’t syncing. Figma is up-to-date as well. I have had this issue for a week now and it’s incredibly frustrating. Any solutions?

When updating the main component, the instance of it resets to something different

I am really confused. I have a component file where I keep all my main components. The main component looks like this: However, when I update the component, publish the library, and then update the library in a different file that has this same component, it resets to an old version of the component: the properties are different, and the caret icon there is something that I used long ago. I checked the links of the components and there is no “hidden” link, I’m genuinely so confused and frustrated lol

Corner smoothing on pills

Corner smoothing in Figma doesn’t seem to work when the radius is 50% or 1/2 the height of the rectangle aka pills or rounded buttons. If you look at Airbnb’s or Apple’s pills, they appear to have a corner smoothing applied. Is there a workaround to get this effect in this scenario or is it something we just need to communicate to engineers when handing off designs?

Figma REST API does not return children of hidden instance

Hello, I have a project using Figma REST API to get a Figma file and read some of the properties of a component Instance. A component has another instance as a children which is hidden. The hidden instance has a text layer child. A few days ago I was able to read the properties of this specific child but now it seems like it is not returned: the hidden instance has empty array as for the children collection. Is this expected now because this was introduced a couple of days ago and is not documented neither in the REST API docs nor in the changelog. Is there a way I can bypass this? Thanks.

Give more power to improve writting. Copy Text and Paste applying Figma Font styles + Anchor text

Is currently so annoying when we need to work on text in Figma… We can’t do anchor text like indesign for example If pasting from a document, chatgpt or anything we can’t select to apply the current styles or variables ( needs to be manual ) we can’t even use a google doc to implement the main styles and Figma to convert Can Someone at Figma give more power on the writing part ?

PLEASE, Please, Please Disable the persistent in Browser “Open int the Figma App”

It’s so discouraging and annoying when working in Figma via web browser (on iPad) and the persistent “Open int the Figma App” it’s recommended when in the first place the Figma app is basically a limited “FILE BROWSER” with ZERO functionality. NO. NO. NO. Please don’t ask me to open my file via an App where my file is basically my productivity go’s down to Zero/Nothing. Now, if the App had full iPad functionality - then we’re talking.

Local variables bugs while playing a prototype in Figma mobile app

Hi, I observed a weird situation in the Figma Mobile app while playing a prototype, thinking this could be a bug. Anyone could help? Please see in the screenshots an example. What I tried to do: by clicking on the “Name 1” button in the “Name Screen”, assign the value of “Name 1” to a local variable “Bug Typed Name”, then navigate to the “Final Screen” and show the value of the variable “Bug Typed Name” (so, “Name 1”) in a text box. What works well on both Figma desktop app and Figma mobile app (1st scenario): If I pass the variable value from one screen to another “immediately”, like what is shown in the screenshots between the “Name Screen 1” Frame to the “Final Screen 1” Frame, it works correctly on both apps - desktop and mobile. What works correctly only on Figma Desktop app, but DOES NOT work on the mobile app (2nd scenario): If I add couple of “additional” frames between the “Name Screen” and the “Final Screen” frames (see the flow between “Name Screen 2” and “Final Screen 2”

How to edit text in a component from MD3 library

Hello, I’m new to Figma in terms of creating designs and for the life of me I cannot find out how to edit a text label in a component I am using from Material Design 3 assets. See below screenshot. How do you customise text? I’m sure it’s something easy once I know how or I don’t have permission. Apologies if this covered else where. Google and searching didn’t return a simple answer. Thanks.

Team permissions not inherited

This seems so basic, but I can’t figure out what I’m doing wrong. I’m using the free plan for a personal project – I created the one team allowed, added three associated files, and invited my collaborators to join it as editors. I expected once they did so, they would all have (inherited) permissions to edit all three included files, as described in the documentation. Instead I still needed to grant them individual edit access to each of the files. See attached screenshots, 6 people “can edit” the project, but within any given file, only I get permission to do so based on my membership in the team.

Figma variables, and multiple swappable styling libraries

In the past, when you created Colour Styles and Text Styles, you could (along with identically named components) swap them out for each other by using the “Swap library” functionality in the Libraries panel. That functionality still works, and is great. However, Variables don’t seem to swap over in the same manner, which makes some sense as they’re not detected by the “Swap library” panel currently. Is there any way you can switch out Variables in batch when swapping libraries so they update everything eg colour, padding margin, booleans etc, or am I unable to use Variables for anything outside of local styling for now? For context, I’m creating a design system for a white-label product that can swap the associated branding on the fly depending on the target client. Naturally, colours, fonts, logos etc need to be switched out, and they work fine with the older method of library definition, but Id like to be able to specify padding, margins and other similar properties as part of the br

Discrepancies in Figma Library Analytics

Hi Figma Community, Upon looking at the usage data of our components within the Figma library analytics, I’ve noticed some discrepancies when delving into deeper levels of analysis. Below, I’ve included a screenshot depicting these discrepancies at the instance level. You can observe that the total count displayed at the top doesn’t align with the sum of individual values. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue? Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Tarun.
