Why can't I copy/paste interactions anymore?

It worked completely fine before last release. It’s disrupting my workflow tremendously.

 

Is that expected? or is it a bug?

Hi everyone — thanks so much for all the detail, collaboration, and testing you brought in here.

Good news to share: After touching base with the Technical Quality team, they've confirmed Engineering pushed a fix that should resolve this. If you haven't already, please close and reopen your files — after that, copying individual interactions should work as expected again. ✅

If anyone's still seeing it after reopening, let us know here and we'll dig back in. Thanks again!

Yes, same issue. How are you guys checking your version? Is there an about section I am not seeing? Can you check if there’s updates? I don’t understand.

 

I also noticed the same issue just now, exactly as ​@Silvia Gamboa described. It was so useful feature to copy only the interaction and paste it to another layer/component.

I use Figma Desktop App version 126.7.10 on macOS Sequoia Version 15.7.7

Same problem. 

If this feature is dead please replace the torturous GUI with a code panel we can copy and paste interaction from granularly.

I keep making tests on my side.

@Tom Reem ​@adamsmasher 

 

I just copy-pasted an entire prototype on a new file :

  • It doesn’t paste the prototype starting points
  • It copies half of the interactions

The interactions that won’t copy are the ones that contain multiple items.

 

But if I add a “Section” around the prototype, and copy-paste the section it copies all interactions correctly.

 

The real problem it’s still copy-pasting individual interactions.That never works now.

 

I really hope that you can get to this bug, or give us tools to help you point to the problem to solve it.

Hi, same issue here - I just noticed this a few weeks ago. It’s tripled the time it takes for me to create prototypes now. It’s very frustrating to have to manually create each prototype interaction over and over again for sometimes 60+ screens (creating a component with the link and then using that component is a workaround, but that’s a lot of recreating and restructuring of designs). And multiply the effort by each component that needs an interaction...makes prototype-making painful. Please bring back the copy pasting of prototype links!!!  🙏🏼

Can confirm that is fixed! ✅ (at least for me)

 

Thank you so much ​@Tom Reem !

@Tom Reem thanks a lot. I tested too and it works as it was before.

The bug came back. I could copy/paste interactions an hour ago, and now I cannot complete my project. I updated the app, the browser, the Cmd+C doesn’t work on interractions.

Hey ​@Martin_Goudreault1 — sorry for the disruption, and thanks for troubleshooting with the app and browser updates.

One other person mentioned a blip last week, but confirmed it started working again for them. That said, it's worth a closer look. I checked and I'm not seeing a trend of new reports in the last few days, so I'd like to dig into your specific setup.

Is it still happening for you right now? If so, I'll loop in our Technical Quality team — the quickest way is to share the file where it's happening so they can reproduce it. Please keep me posted.
