When detaching a child (nested) instance, this should detach that instance ONLY. It should NOT detach the parent instance (or any other component instance higher up in the chain).

Hi all,I’ve been using the Figma MCP server and found that get_code outputs Tailwind classes without any reference to Figma variables. For example, if I have 2 boxes that use two different semantic variables with the same hex value, Figma only provides the raw value in the generated React components.My Figma frame setupWhat get_code returns in CursorUnfortunately, this means the model has to guess which token to use from the codebase based on the raw value provided. Here is what Cursor tells me: Do you know if this is intended? Am I missing something that can bridge that gap accurately?Thanks.

OK, maybe I’m just lazy but while developing a plugin using an AI editor to help, it would be really nice if I could highlight/copy the red error messages form the Figma application. I know the solution to this issue but for other issues it’s good to give AI the exact wording.

Solutions like VPlayed make this transition seamless, combining broadcast-quality delivery with complete content control.

 Background:Let’s start with what is going on. Last config, Figma launched a new feature in Figma Design called Grid (Beta) which is I think an additional for the Figma Layouts. I’ve tried to look on what’s the difference between the new feature and the existing Layout Grid now Layout Guide (why would you rename existing features?) and all I could say is its the same thing, but with snapping element feature.   Auto - Layout (Vertical/Horizontal):A full auto-layout container has the ability to hug layers inside and adjust its dimension automatically In order to mimic the grid system, have to create a child container for the elements either by row or column, depending on your setup Adjust gaps between elements on the main container and the child containers Can add min and max for height or width to control column or row dimension Can use hug to set height and width of a specific column/row to automatic  Layout Guide (Former Layout Grid):Can’t adjust dimension automatically (no hugs) Layo

I was surprised to discover today that embed prototypes in Figma Slides do not show the mobile cursor nor allow me to hide the device frame.. 

Problem: Figma pages that were created to generate a prototype can be confusing for engineers and fellow designers. We sometimes get away with cleaning up the pages and labeling the frames, but that doesn’t always do the job especially for more complex flows. So we end up creating a separate page for our engineers which looks more like a sitemap with arrows for navigation. Solution: Have Figma auto generate a flat flow (sitemap) from the prototype. So it would take a prototype and create a new Figma page that has all the interactions of the prototype layed out in separate frames. They should be well organized frames of all the screens and interactions like popup modals, flyouts, all linked with arrows that can be labelled by the designers.

Is there a plan for Figma to support relative font size units, such as vw, vh, vmin, vmax, etc.? The design system I’m working at is trying to add fluid font size calculations to bigger title sizes, and Figma’s native support for these units would be extremely helpful. I’m also working separately on a plugin that converts inputed relative units to px values, but it seems Figma’s API won’t support background-running plugins that observes text layer changes. Any thoughts on making the plugin more useful?

I want to apply AI to Figma for example automatically update or generate UI screens following my current asset (I will create a library with color, icon, component, font of text, size of text,...). I see the feature First draft in Figma but it only allows me to use the existing libraries of Figma, cannot put mine. Please support me with this.

Hi there- I was just wondering about the possibility of adding a new feature surrounding components which could hopefully expedite some slow and time consuming processes- namely defining more complex variables which rely on the modal values of other variables without applying and editing it every single time to every relevant component- which is incredibly time consuming (for context, I used Figma as required for an assessment task, and building it with the variables in interactions took up too much time, both in figuring out how to apply variables if I couldn’t predefine them -apart from simple definitions in the variables table- and in debugging all of it- I even stayed up all night because I was too stressed- I ended up working on it from late afternoon all the way to 8 AM and thinking of solutions and I still couldn’t finish it- and that was just some of the final touches that should not have taken as long as it did.. even got sick from not sleeping. I’m still sick from it).So, I w

We are able to use icon fonts as icons in Figma (e.g.: Font Awesome, Material Icons) but the new Material Symbols font isn’t built into Figma yet. It would be so cool if Figma implemented this… What do you guys think?

For example, select a with the cursor, and write the same for b. Or write for B that the value of A multiplied by 50,000. I wish we could have this kind of function.The ai is absolutely powered by the text you enter, and even a slight change in the description is producing a completely wrong result.It would be nice if we could select multiple objects, such as adding the values of A and B to C.

For years I have the same issue with my devs: “Where to find a hover state for this button?” I’ve tried different approaches, but the most native (and most useful for devs) it is to have ability to see all component states on the fly, without leaving document and trying to find some piece of design documentation. You already introduced this as Playground feature, but it is not useful for devs. So my suggestion: Rename “Playground” to “Inspect component” Add Inspect panel in playground modal (in dev mode) Increase size of modal Add zoom-in\zoom-out features for component preview

It would be amazing if you could unpublish individual templates that are no longer actively being used without unpublishing a whole template file.

EDIT: This hasn’t happened before but it loaded? So nevermind!Hi there! Is there any way that we could get the option in Figma to remove videos from a file when importing files for a free user account? I’m trying to add in an old project file to my personal figma that someone must have added a video file too, and it’s kind of a pain that there isn’t an option to continue the import and to remove it, I’d need to sign up for a month just so that I can even get in the file to remove it

Looking for an updated version of the MKitF2I plugin to work with Indesign 2025.

not trying to shout in the title, just want to make this more visible. currently, when you want to apply, lets say, a gradient mask to an image, you need to make a shape, apply to it the gradient with transparency, then have the image on top of the shape and make a mask from the 2 layers in the layers panel. the problem is that its very hard to control afterwards, to select the image or the gradient layer you need to search in the layers panel, its just difficult. plus figma doesnt (yet, i hope) smooth gradients like photoshop does, so the mask wont even turn out very nice. you should look at how photoshop does it, why not just have the mask strictly linked to the image, or on the image, if you will, without the need for extra layers. for an example, imagine you are working with a irregularly shaped png with transparence - it would be really uncomfortable to apply a fade transparency to that png using the current means, you would create that masking layer under the png, but the png is

Why are Ukrainians not allowed to sell their files? We are not responsible for the situation that is currently happening between the two countries. I am a designer, and I want to earn additional income for my effort and my work! I believe it is unfair that we do not have the opportunity to share our creations “for a fee,” especially since no one knows how long the war will last. Please open access, because this is not fair to us as people and as designers.

Ideally we would see an MCP connection icon somewhere all the time so we do not break our prototype when the MCP connection fails or drops and then have the AI suddenly be dumb as a box of hair and redesign everything. 

Why is there a difference between Figma Design and Figma Sites? Figma Design should just give you the various breakpoints by default if you want to build a site. If you want to create a website in Design, just publish the project. It’s incredibly ridiculous that if you want to build a prototype that has the interactions available in Sites, that you can’t do those in Design. It’s also ridiculous that there is a “responsive” option when previewing a Figma Design project, but it doesn’t snap to a mobile layout. You can sort of achieve this with min/max widths and auto layout, but it won’t snap from a desktop nav to a mobile nav. I mean, all the components are cross compatible anyway, and the UI properties between Deign and Sites are the same, so why are there 2 different tools? Why not just include the AI builder tool in Design? What is the point of Figma Make this AI builder is available in Sites? Just do it all in one version…. unless you’re planning to make Figma Sites an upcharge if y

Please make saving to figma make version history, thumbnails and deleting favicons / sharing thumbs if uploaded multiple ones possible 

Can you please make a feature that allows you to import the Figma Make page to a figma file? Also would be great to export components from Figma Make.

I’m trying to localize an app using the new variables feature but it looks like I can’t add break lines to the string. For titles, especially in some languages like Japanese where there are no spaces, it is totally necessary. Is this planned for the near future?

When you open a new slide deck you are met with a modal that suggests templates ( layouts ) after choosing design. In this view, because of the ( + ) roll over i thought i was able to pick and choose differend template slides for the skeleton i new i had to go through. So:I now i need a headlineand then a slide with a headline and 4 sub categoriesand then a slide with two 50/50 split columns and then a slide with 5 columns and then a headline slide and then and then and then...i know this before i open my slide deck - so let me prepolulate my slide deck with templates

Hey everyone,Just discovered that Figma Make has officially released its Supabase integration—but here’s the interesting part: I’ve already been using Supabase with Figma Make before this integration even existed.The new integration is cool, but it mainly supports simple key-value pair setups. If you’re building anything more complex or relational, it quickly hits limitations.So here’s a method I’ve been using that still works perfectly—especially for advanced database structures:✅ My Method to Set Up Complex Supabase Databases in Figma Make 1. Structure your app in Figma Make.Make sure your app's UI and components are well-organized.2. Ask Figma Make AI for the database schema:Prompt:“Generate a Supabase schema that can be run in the SQL Editor to create tables that support my current app.”3. It will generate a .sql file inside your app's code structure.4. Copy that SQL schema and paste it into the SQL Editor of your Supabase project.5. Run it.If there are any errors, simply paste the
