Can't copy and paste images as background fill anymore

Since the last update, it’s impossible to copy and paste the image fill, into another component.

I’m working with Auto Layout and I used to be able to select the fill > copy this > open another component > select the fill > paste.

This doesn’t work anymore. It’s a feature I use all the time. Does anybody else experience this?

Hi everyone, quick update from our side: We’ve been in touch with the engineering team, and they’ve pushed a fix to production that should resolve this issue. ✅

💡 If you haven’t already, try giving the tab you’re working in a quick refresh → copy/paste functionality should now behave as expected.

Thanks again for your patience while we worked to get this resolved. Let us know how it goes, and if any questions remain.

Just dropping a comment to say this needs to be fixed asap, one of those things you take for granted until it’s gone. Swapping images is a huge pain now.

I am having the same issue on Copy and Fill, it no longer works. We should be able to copy and paste the fills inside the Fill layer. This is constant issue with it breaking when you make any kind of update. Please fix this ASAP.

That’s not what we’re referencing. You should be able to duplicate the present fill on top of itself and that does not work.

Yes, others are experiencing the same issue. It's likely a bug from the recent update. You can try duplicating the component as a temporary workaround and report the issue to Figma support.

Nellya’s solution does work but it’s really finicky. You have to click in just the right spot on the right side of the “draggable” point. I can’t only get it sometimes. but if you click there and the whole fill is outlines in blue you know you got it and can copy and paste as you did before.

This is becoming increasingly frustrating and is slowing down my work. Figma please get this fixed ASAP!

SOLLUTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Option + Command + C Copy Image fill
Command V Paste image fill

This is not a solution. If you have any other styling on the div it gets over-written, so gradients, background colours etc all go.
