Date Stamp on frame

Is there a plugin or a function in Figma that can show when a frame was create? ** scenario ** I have a a file with over 20 designs - each design is created in its own frame I have 2 pages “current design” and “Archive” In the Archive I have the 19 designs that where not approved but the client has changed his mind and what’s the design we spoke about on the 19th of may I have no idea which frame was created on that date. Is there any way to create this with out manually have to add a text field with the date and time above each design or in the frame layer ? Thanks

Doesn't see the padding in responsive Presentation mode.

I really can’t scroll any further down while in presentation mode, but I put all elements in an auto layout Frame and I have a horizontal padding of 50. But I don’t have any space in presentation mode underneath the last element although I have a padding underneath it. I am also in responsive mode while presentation. Here the screenshots for understanding:

Interactive nested component not working...again!

Not sure if I’m going crazy or missing something completely basic but I have a component which contains several nested component instances for . The expandable nav is simple enough with 2 states of OPEN and CLOSED and I have several of these inside a auto-layout frame, which allows each nav to be expanded or collapsed. The interaction works fine until I convert the into a component, then the nested interactions no longer work! Here is an example file containing an instance of the component which do NOT work and a detached instance which works perfectly! Figma – 8 Oct 24 Any ideas welcomed!

Content jumps up and down with using of smart animate and AL

I use some components in footer, that have two states: collapsed and expanded. All components and the main frame have Auto Layout. When I click on the collapsed component in the prototype the screen jumps up and down before the list expands with animation. As I understand, the problem is connected to constraints of the contents. When I choose Smart Animation, I can’t set checkbox “Preserve scroll position”, because there is no checkboxes. When I choose “Instant” and choose the “Preserve scroll position” option everything works well. But I want to do it with animation. drive.google.com

Show/hide relevant content in a Frame when hovering over items in entirely separate Frame

What I want to achieve The UI I have essentially has two separate sections alongside each other. A “stage” on the left of the screen which is in fixed position, 100% height, 50% width of window. And a scrolling feed of content to the right of that, about 10 items. The effect I want to create is when I hover over a card on the right, the larger “stage” is filled with relevant content (image/video mostly) of the item that has been interacted with. I want the appearance to be elegant so it fades in - but I can’t find a way to do this as they are not related / separated items. Possible options… I have tried a few things but I want to see if there is a better solution. Overlays: I can’t use overlays as I have a fixed header and the overlay overlaps this. Variables / Conditionals: I tried setting true/false and used and if/else condition to show and hide different frames but it doesn’t appear like there’s away to fade this. It just displays or hides instantly? Multiple Artboards: Have 10

So went to see on Google to see how I can recover where I found that confirmation mail will be delivered where within 28days you can recover your account but issue is that I didn’t receive any confirmation mail from Figma.

text variable issue

Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Please search for existing topics before posting! Press 🔍 at the upper right to search. Hello. I have a question about the text variable feature. I am creating a soundtrack page where the color changes to a light red when hovering, and to a darker red when clicked. I used the “click → change to” component for this. However, I want to use the text variable feature to change the title of the currently playing music when a track is clicked. But when I try to add a variable to the “click → change” action in the prototype animation, either the “change to” function doesn’t work, or the variable feature doesn’t work. Is it possible to implement both at the same time?

I'd like to know if this is a bug - interactions do not work when running

Objective: I want to link the options of the dropdown list to the display below it. i.e. when I select game 1, the view of game 1 will appear below. now I have the interactions defined on the dropdown list - set variable and change state, but none of them works when running. Before I added set variable interaction, the dropdown worked, it just didn’t change the view below. if someone could point out what I’ve done wrong. many thanks Figma – 21 Nov 24

What is the best way to create conditional prototype flows between numerous screens?

TL;DR: Can I realise in Figma that, upon clicking radio button (changing component state) to change the ‘Navigate to’ screen on a button, i.e. by changing the button or it’s state, to let the prototype go to a different screen (i.e. continual prototyping logic)? I’m working on a project where I’m digitising paper documents to an online platform. It’s basically creating a GoogleForms/Typeform questionnaire (quite large, 150+ fields), with an administration dashboard around it to review data. My issue herein is creating conditional prototyping flows. I would like to realise something in Figma that allows me to skip certain screens depending on component states (i.e. radio button states (yes/no or possibly checkboxes). Option 1: Duplicating screens with changing Continue buttons If I want to realise that, if ‘question 1 = A, then continue to screen 2, else skip and continue with 3’, then I see no other way than to duplicate screen 3. This way I can do 1-2-3-X or 1-3-X. And with each addi

Single Selected Item in Prototyping of Tabs using Conditionals

So I have been trying for a few weeks now to build out a conditional based component for a simple tabbed content. Or as a single select option from an option of choices. Sadly, to date, the only way to make this is to have many variants that you then prototype between rather than relying on something more logical like conditionals. For example: If a user selects an inactive tab then change its state from inactive to active, and turn every other option to inactive regardless of its current state

Bug in font spacing

I encountered a strange bug while testing the DM Sans font in the Figma app on macOS. The letter spacing changes as you type or when a new letter is added to a specific word. This issue doesn’t happen in Figma Web or with other fonts. I’ve attached a recording to demonstrate the problem. drive.google.com

Why does "Bring to Front" push the object to the back instead of bringing it forward?

Despite solving most things, Figma still hasn’t properly addressed the “bring to front” and “send to back” features in 6 years. When I use “bring to front,” it pushes the element all the way to the bottom. Do I have to use “absolute” positioning just to move something forward or backward? Here’s my setup: Frame (auto layout) [ → Text → Text → Frame (list title bar -scroll on screenshot-) → List elements (10 frames stacked vertically) ] I want to make the list title bar sticky, but when I do, it overlaps the 10 list elements below. When I use “bring to front,” the list title bar gets pushed to the back. My goal is to prevent the 10 list elements from overlapping the list title bar. How can I achieve this?

Children of hidden instance is not returned

Hi there, We have been using REST API to build our package Unity Figma Importer. For a while we didn’t encounter an issue when importing to Unity but now we see that the REST API no longer returns children of hidden instances. This is a show-stopper bug for our package. Please explain which change to the API causes this problem so that we can fix our package. Please update the changelog accordingly. We had a similar issue before because the changelog was not updated.

Google Sheet Sync with component variants

Does anyone know how to use either Google Sheet Sync or any other data syncing plugin/tool to map data from an external data source to different variants within a component? I’m trying to build an interactive component that will display different values. Rather than update the values manually, I would love to sync data directly to the different variants and then use instances of them in my design. For Google Sheet Sync, it appears to only sync with component instances and not the variants within a component.

So I uploaded tons of png resources into Figma. there were 2 themes but now i have to add another theme. I was planning to copy and paste original theme and replace new theme resources to the original one. but i already mentioned, there are tons of resources plus deadline is really tight. so is there anyone who know how to solve this kind of problems or any proper plugin in this situation? additionally, plugins for replacing function generally usually work for replace about font color, stroke, gradients effect etc. What i need function is replacing PNG.
