Missing feature: replace image fills from frame selection

Hi Figma team,

 

Since the recent updates, it’s no longer possible to easily change image fills inside a frame by simply selecting the parent frame.

Previously, selecting a frame allowed us to quickly replace image fills contained within its child elements, which made workflows much faster — especially when working with templates, cards, or repeated layouts.

 

Now, the Fill panel only shows the frame’s own background color, and we must manually drill down into each nested element to replace images. This adds unnecessary friction and slows down production.

 

It would be extremely helpful to bring back the ability to:

• replace image fills from the parent frame selection

or

• provide a quick “Replace image inside frame” action

Figma version 126.1.2 MAC OS

 

This was a very efficient workflow for designers working with visual templates.

 

Thank you 🙏
