Can you make an index with updatable nested instances of variants?

I originally posted part of this question as a problem here: Variant edits revert to original Ask the community When I edit a nested variant such as text or colour the variant reverts to the original. See video example. I first show how the Variant works, then when I try to edit it you can see it reverts to the original. Which didn’t get any traction. I didn’t describe the use, so I figured i’d ask the community here: So the problem is i’m building an index. Like this: Roma Publications An index has a primary state, with a hover state and a slide out clicked state which shows an image container like the Roma reference above. I’ve added images below to further illustrate the need Where the nested instance of a variant needs to be updatable. The problem is that only the base or ‘primary’ part of the variant can update. Not the nested instance. As you can see from this image below. If I update the nested instance (the image part) of the variant (yellow) it

My Frame Titles are floating off the side

My frame titles in all files, on multiple browsers, and in the desktop app, are now floating way off to the side or completely missing when zoomed in. Anyone know why this is happening? It makes it fairly difficult to work without knowing the name of the frame or being able to select it easily using the title.

All Frames Name Becomes Invisible

Hello guys, I’ve been facing an issue on Figma(both on the desktop app and any browser) for roughly 26+ hours. All frames in every of my files all suddenly became inaccessible from the canvas except on the left panel, I can’t see the frames name or drag them on the canvas without clicking on them from the left panel. I have tried every possible solution, logged out, restart all but still nothing. See an example…

How are paintStyleIds created?

Hello, I am trying to create a map of all our paintStyleIds that we have stored in a Figma file. Purpose of doing that is to use semantic names of these paintStyles rather than their hex values. I have a plugin which gets the values of all the current paint styles in a file (using figma.getLocalPaintStyles() ). When I look through the data that I get back from Figma, I see that paintStyleId comes back truncated, something like this- id: “S:407eaa3991e05cb0597e4da3fr728014dc7f0f3b56,” The actual iid that works looks something like this- id: “S:407eaa3991e05cb0597e4da3fr728014dc7f0f3b56, 3:78” I am trying to. understand where does this colon separated value after the comma comes from? I don’t see this data anywhere in the data I get back from Figma. Any help is much appreciated.

Create link in a variant of a dropdown to another frame

Hi guys! I made a very simple example, but in the original dropdown I have 10 variants. The problem is that I can’t link from the dropdown variant to another frame. Yes, I can do it from the component, but this doesn’t work for me since the link will not be the same in the prototype. I am doing something wrong? or can not be? Thanks.

Entering numbers or text in a figma

Good afternoon. I want to create in my prototype a field for entering numerical values and text ( for example passwords or a small comment). Is there any way to animate it without creating additional frames? Do you happen to know a good tutorial on this topic? So far I have created input fields and a popup keyboard, I would also like to do numeric input into the input fields when I click on the keyboard. 😀

[Beginner, help needed] Auto-layout bottom margin does not seem to work

Hi ! I’m starting to use Figma more professionally (used it in a personal way before), and just learned about prototype, scrolling and so on I’m trying to create a scrollable list of tickets. If the user does not find the ticket she wants in the list, she can click a text at the end that says “Load more tickets” (see image below, I can only embed one). Unfortunately, I’m unable to put this bottom padding you see above when I enable the scrolling on the list container (an auto-layout element, no component involved). It appears like this : How do I add this bottom layout? I’ve been searching for what feels like hours without finding what I need. Thanks in advance for any help ! Have a nice day ☀️

Strange whitespace around shapes

I’m having trouble properly sizing shapes because they end up with a lot of whitespace around them. I create a shape (StarNode, PolygonNode, or EllipseNode, then a TextNode. I resize both to the same dimensions. Then I put them into a GroupNode and finally resize the GroupNode the same. The ellipse works perfectly, but star and polygon have significant whitespace. While it looks alright, it makes proper sizing difficult. Any thoughts on how I can make the size fit snugly around the shape? This is my first Figma plugin project and I’m likely missing something obvious. I can provide the code if it will help.
