How can i import Styles from a remote lobrary into the plugin interface?

I am having problems importing styles from a remote library. I can’t get them to display in a div inside the plugin interface. I had no problem with the variables but now I can’t import them correctly. Because I imagine that they work in a different way but I can’t find the documentation. Thank you very much in advance.

How system breaks all the text style when I use cmd+opt+C and cmd+opt+V to copy/paste properties?

I usually use cmd+opt+C (ctrl+alt+C) and cmd+opt+V (ctrl+alt+V) to copy and paste properties from one object to another. It’s normal when I use it for text. But when I try this action for a frame (E.g I want to copy all properties of the frame’s background to another one), this will break all text style inside. Cry a lot 😦 . This same issue with section properties. Is that a bug?

The "create component set" button is missing

When I select two or more frames, and click the action button (command + k on MacOS), I don’t see the “create component set” option, and I end up having to go back to the previous UI to create my components interactive. Please fix this problem!

UI3: Any way to prevent Position & Sizing attribute fields from changing position based on selection?

A terribly frustrating aspect of UI3 is how some of my most frequently used sidebar fields — X/Y position and width/height/AL sizing — jump around the sidebar constantly based on the current selection. If I have a component selected, it’s attributes will push the position and sizing sections further down the sidebar than if I have a standard shape selected. As someone who’s heavily reliant on manually inputting numbers into these fields, this feels like a UX cardinal sin for a productivity program. I think most of the changes for UI3 are just things that I’ll get used to over time, but this will always create friction in my workflow because every single component has a different number of attributes which will lead to the position/sizing blocks ending up in a different place in the sidebar. So I’ll always need to spend a beat locating these fields and this friction will add up significantly over time. It’s already slowed me down so much and is really frustrating. Would the team conside

UI3 Feedback - Keep position, size, etc. always at the top (object, frame, component)

(I guess someone else talked about that but I couldn’t find any post.) In the previous UI, whenever I selected an object or component, the basic settings like position (X, Y), size (H, W), and rotation were always displayed at the top of the panel. However, with the new UI3, while the basic settings remain at the top for objects, selecting a component now pushes the component settings and variants to the top instead. This constant shifting of the UI makes me feel disoriented, a bit dizzy. My eyes aren’t sure where to focus, and the movement of key elements feels inconsistent. I understand that component settings are important, but I think the basic settings (like position and size) should always be prioritized and stay at the top for consistency. At the very least, could we have an option to customize this layout? Thanks, Cheers. Phil

Separate Prototype-Only Link (Without Access to Working File)

Hi guys. There are two issues regarding the prototype-link. When I share the prototype-link with clients, they still have to request viewing access. This shouldn’t happen, as the purpose of sharing a prototype-link is to allow them to view part of the designs. Anyone with the prototype-link should be able to view it without needing additional permissions. 🫤 Now, when I grant them view access, they can also access the working file, which shouldn’t be the case!! They should only be able to view the prototype through the prototype-link and not have access to the working file. However, right now they can navigate from the prototype to the working file. 🤨 Please provide a better solution here. 🤞 Yes, I’m aware of the workaround of creating another file for the prototype/presentation, but this is not the best solution?

Interactive state doesn't reset after overlay is closed

Yes I know this topic has been raised before, but I would like to raise it again, since it is breaking the core interaction in my design system. Is Figma even aware of this issue? Since the last discussion about it is ~2years ago, and this issue still exists. Steps: Create a Button component set with 2 variants: Default, On Press Add interactions in the variant: “Default” → While pressing → Change to “On Press” Insert an instance of the “Default” button into a new Frame Add interactions to the button: On Click → Open overlay. Check the “Close when clicking outside” box. Test the prototype Results When you click the button, the button change to “On Press”, the overlay opens, but when clicking outside the overlay to close it, the button does not reset back to “Default”. Expected: The button should reset to “Default”.

Showing component variants in presentation mode

When presenting to a client, I want to show all the variants of the component. For example, let’s say I have a card layout, I want the option to a) show them and b) leave them with the presentation link where they can toggle through the different variations. The variations could be different colour backgrounds, layout coloums etc. Pretty much what I’m looking for is something similar to Dev Mode playground, where the client viewing the presentation can view the different component variants - is this possible?

Copy/Pasting frames dumps them out in REVERSE ORDER - annoying

Hi, I do a lot of copying frames (from an auto-layout parent frame) and dumping them out into a new Figma file to do prototyping (since we can’t properly prototype with auto-layout). When I paste the frames into the new document they are dumped out in REVERSE order from what I had them as. Please either: Reverse the order when pasting frames from an auto-layout parent Give us a special PASTE option (e.g. Paste frames in reverse order). Auto layout is the best… trying to prototype with auto layout parents is hell… at least try to meet us in the middle with a better paste option.

Looping in Figma Slides

I tried to make an automated slide deck for a conference stand and got 99% of the way. I could use delay transitions between the slides, but not from the last slide back to the first. Couldn’t figure it out and had to make a normal looping prototype instead, which was a bummer… Is there any way to do this in Slides?

Copy as Text doesn't work in last update

I’ve set up a custom keyboard shortcut in Figma for copying as text on my Mac. It was working great, but after the latest update, it’s broken. Please fix this issue as soon as possible. It’s making my work much harder. There are two text layers with different styles I select the first text, press the key combination (control+command+C) I expect that only the text will be copied to the clipboard, without styles (copy as text) in fact, the text with styles is copied macOS 15.0.1 (24A348) Figma Desktop App version 124.5.5

Clients/Employees are unable to view the "Share" link for prototypes

In the past few weeks I have been unable to share my preview links with clients or internal copywriters. They tell me that they just see the Figma loading screen and it gets stuck with the loading bar. I have experienced this as well recently where I was unable to get the preview links to load and had to restart my browser multiple times. Love your software but we need to be able to reliably share prototypes with 3rd parties for comments. Can you please assist?

How to set text to a new value (case: dropdown menu)

I am working on a dropdown component that updates the ‘select option’ text with the option text that receives the click. So, if the user selects ‘apple’ from the list, the dropdown would show ‘apple’ as the selected option. One approach would be to use variables inside the component. To continue with our example, we would store ‘apple’ as a variable and wire it up to one of the options in the dropdown list. The ‘select option’ would be set to ‘apple’ when the user selects it. The problem with this approach is that a variable can only be defined once. As a result, multiple instances will all refer to the same value. For example, if I want to use two dropdown components, one with a list of fruits and another with a list of car brands, this is not possible. An alternative approach is to link the variables to the option texts at the instance level instead of the component level. This way, each dropdown would have its own set of variables. However, when setting up these events, you would ne

Shortcut Component Picker search is unusable

The component picker has always been a bit janky. However, the picker in the new UI is now almost unusable within projects that have many components. What I’m seeing The picker I’m talking about is the one shown when I hit SHIFT+I. I have the following issues with it: Search is painfully slow, sometimes taking up to 30 seconds to load the results In-flight searches prevent continuing to type in the search terms If I don’t type all the keywords in immediately, sometimes an in-flight search while I’m typing will clear new characters typed into the search bar I’ve emphasised the biggest issue I have with the search experience. Here is a short screen recording of the issue: What I expected The search input field is completely isolated from whether or not there is a search in progress. That means I can at least make sure I have the right search terms and wait for the results. This is pretty standard behaviour for a search input.

Component color issue when changing variants using variable modes

Hello good! How are they? I’m having a problem with variable modes and colors in components. I’m creating some “templates” to be able to easily switch between a square UI and a rounded one with variable modes. I generated the icons with variants that will be renamed using a variable, one for the sharp ones and another for the rounded ones. I incorporated this icon into the button with the properties to easily change the icon and applying the variable to the property of the icon itself, so that it adapts to the variable modes. When I replicate the component instance and switch between variable modes it initially works fine, the edges are rounded and the icon changes properties. The problem is when I change the icon on the button, in principle everything looks fine, but when I change the variable modes the color of the icon resets to its original color, and this does not allow me to replicate multiple components with different icons and change between modes easily, you would have to

Can't open Figma macOS desktop application and workarounds didn't

I downloaded and installed the latest version of Figma for macOS running over the existing installation. The app didn’t launch afterwards. I followed proposed workaround on the forum - mainly clearing Figma cash via Terminal and removing and reinstalling Figma but non of these workarounds helped. This seems to be a common issue…
