Expose instance swap properties from nested components

I have a sidebar menu list item component with three variants: Default, Hover, and Selected. Each of those has icon and text nested components, and each of those has their own properties. icon has instance swap and Boolean properties: text has instance swap, Boolean, and text properties: I have exposed the properties of icon and text to my sidebar menu list item component. However, the instance swap properties are not exposed to the top-level component/instance: This is annoying because, rather than being able to set all of my properties for my top-level instance in one place, I have to drill down into it to be able to set the instance swap property for the sub-instance.

Any plans to make pushing of updates to duplicated community files?

Taking into account #config2021 announcements, I wonder Figma has any plans to improve the situation by introducing updates to duplicated community files. The problem now with community files is that that once you duplicated it, it is super difficult to incorporate update from original files. And it is often the case that updates and fixes are introduced gradually especially in the file is a design system or something non-trivial. I wonder if brave Figma people have something up their sleeve for this scenario? Much love, @ykovzel

Show non-breaking spaces in text inspector for dev mode

Hi! We make designs in Russian, and there are lots of non-breaking spaces (nbsp) after prepositions and short words (see my list here). Our UX writer places these nbsp with a Figma plugin, but our iOS developers lose these hidden characters (you can’t visually distinguish between a regular space " " and nbsp " ") when copying and pasting strings from Figma to their IDE (the IDE doesn’t show nbsp neither). Please, show these symbols in codes like \U00A0 in dev mode code for SwiftUI, so our developers can easily copy and paste the text as it was intended by our UX Writer For example, here you could write Text("Документов на\U00A0подпись нет") instead of Text("Документов на подпись нет")

Pages Organization

I use pages for old versions, it’d be nice to either have folders or a way to highlight the version I’d like the devs to use. Also the concept of a ‘master link’ that I could send out that I could always make sure was pointing to the latest version.

Would like a thumbnail visible when a file is locked

I use thumbnails as an easy, visual way to identify my files, but sometimes I need to password protect a file in order to test prototypes with users outside the company or other reasons. Unfortunately, locking a file currently replaces the thumbnail with a dark background and a key icon. It would be helpful to me if the file retained it’s thumbnail even when it is locked. Thanks!

Option to adjust distance between objects from the group center

When you pull the small purple handles to adjust the distance between objects they always adjust from the top left corner of the group. When you have a group of objects that are center-aligned I want them rather to be adjusted from the center. Now I have to adjust and nudge, adjust and nudge, etc to see what it will look like. This could be done by holding the Alt-key while dragging the purple handles.

Fun Flash mob feature for live pointers

Wish there was a feature inside @figma to be able to do a ‘flash mob-sque’ like sequence with every single pointer (people) inside a file.

Two factor auth not sending the SMS message before publishing a plugin

It seems like there’s a bug in the two factor auth functionality, I’m not getting the SMS message on my phone, it does not work from the browser, neither from the macOs app. The phone number looks like this: +86 18888888888.

Do not show hand cursor on prototype

For usability testing, I need a way to disable to cursor to hint at where to click. Customers just go scrolling around for when they get the hand. This makes disabled hotspots useless.

Interaction changes values of nested properties in components

It would reduce the amount of repetitive design to add the ability to add the output option to interactions on components to change the properties of nested components inside the selected component. For instance, it would be helpful to have the ability to change the icon in a button on click, rather than to design an additional button instance with the new icon just for that one case.

Feature Request - Color variables and styles as gradient stops and shadow color

Hi Figma team, This is Joshua Day, UX designer at Tenable. I’m requesting the ability to assign color variables to the color stops in gradients. Also for the shadow color: At Tenable, there are places we use gradients and shadows that we have to change the hex values directly each time. If those values came from our design system, it would save a ton of work. Thanks!

A shortcut key to select autolayout panel (alignment box)

So, we have shortcut to add autolayout (shift+A) and then, we can do a variety of adjustments right on the canvas for that frame (adjust padding, gap, width, height). Then if we want to chance the alignment of the childs elements inside the frame we have to go to the right sidebar, select the alignment box and THEN we have other set of shortcuts, (Set alignment, Set alignment to edge, Toggle baseline alignment, Toggle gap between). But if I am already in the alignment box with the cursor, why would I use that shortcuts? I can change that right in the alignmet box (becouse Im already there!) So… for this shortcuts to be really usefull, We need a way to select the alignment box without going to the right sidebar and selected it. So a shorcut key for “select autolayout panel” or "select alignment box"would be a hugh difference, and we wolud have fully control of auto layout properties without leave the frame we are working on. This have sense to you to or what do you think?

Sliding line-height from Auto → sluggish decimal change

When the leading is set to Auto, and I click on the line-height icon + drag left, the increment of change is a decimal/float number, which means I have to drag SUUUPER far in order to make a decently sized change to the line-height. Suggestion: Make the default increment = 1, unless the line-height is currently set to a decimal. My hunch is that this will be easy to implement, because maybe Auto is currently 120.0% (float) in the backend, rather than 120% (integer).

Better reporting options

Hi! May you please make it so hitting the report resource button doesn’t just take you to the contact page, but is like any other report button? Meaning, I can just click it, and it’ll ask why I’m reporting, then I say why, and it sends a report to your moderation team. If you don’t have a moderation team, you have to get one… Also, there should be another button as explained, but this one should be for reporting the creator’s profile as a whole. The fact that it isn’t an option is insane!

Branching - loading all conflicts in the same time

I use branching to update the component library. Because we are adjusting multiple components simultaneously, and some take longer to design or there are simply longer breaks (holidays, prioritization, etc.), it could be very painful to merge changes from the main file to the branch. Especially when the changes are not all loaded at the same time. Now, I have to click on one conflict, wait x minutes to load another, select it, wait again, etc. This process is highly ineffective and consumes a large amount of time. It’s even worse when, after 1 hour of checking the file and resolving conflicts, I receive a message saying that the merge failed. What I propose is to load all the conflicts in one go - even if it takes a longer time - and be able after to go through changes afterward without lagging. Ideally the progress bar would show approximate time or percentage. The ‘Resolve all’ button is not helpful because I want to keep some changes from the branch.

Introduce page scroll once a div scroll reaches its end

Hey community, Would be amazing if in prototypes where there are components with scroll; whenever the component scroll reaches its end, top or bottom, then the scroll applies to the page. Currently is frustrating having to move the mouse from the component to the page (if any portion is available, in my scenario there is no workaround having full width data table sticking to the top of the viewport)

Back button in Community search is broken

When you search for a topic in the community, you find a bunch of files. All is good. Say you click on one to explore it. Here’s the problem: once you’re there, you’re stuck. There’s no way to go back to your original search and see all the results and maybe explore diferent files. Clicking the arrows at the top left gets you back to a new search. I find it shocking that no one at figma has thought about this specific flow.

Show pixel preview in prototypes

Hi everyone, I’m a teacher using Figma in a design class. We’re currently working on retro-engineering design prompts. For example, “design Spotify on Game Boy Classic”. The “pixel preview” option is perfect for that while in design mode, however, it doesn’t seem to be available on prototypes. This is 1980, we don’t want super smooth x4 retina anti-aliasing here! Any idea how to enable “pixel preview” in prototype mode? Thanks so much in advance!

Figma Git Integration

We don’t need “git like” functionality in figma - git already does that. What we need is the ability to use git itself within figma and to integrate and connect with tools like gitlhub, gitlab, and bitbucket. Figma could use git in such a way - at a fundamental level - that you are able to use actual git from within figma (pushing, pulling, cloning, branching, merging… all of it) just like an IDE integrates with git and allows you to work with it from within the IDE. Figma doesn’t need to replace git. Git does a wonderful job of version control already; and, frankly, having figma do something like it would just add more tools that do the same thing to the workflow. In addition, your project would become split between the two tools and you would be separating parts of the team from one another as a result. By integrating git into figma you could keep all stages \ phases of your SDLC in one place → git - and work with one tool for all of it. By keeping figma projects in a git reposi

Arrow keys no longer navigate between search results

When typing in the styles search bar, I used to be able to tap the up/down arrow to navigate between the results in the search. Now those arrow keys go to the beginning or end of the text in the search bar. This requires me to use the mouse to click on the object I am trying to select rather than being able to use just the keyboard.

[FigJam] Select Sections only when clicking in its title (upper left corner)

Not sure if it’s in the correct place. Hello, Problem: Since we must leave a section unlocked to edit its items (children), a section can be selected and moved by mistake when editing one of its items. This is an annoying behavior and common in collaborative sessions, when multiple people are working on multiple post its, or items in general, inside the section. Possible Solution: A section can only be selected when clicking on its title in the upper left corner. Another approach would be to lock a section without locking its items (children).

FigJam - Refine table usability/accessibility

The table functionality is great as a base feature today, but it’s impossible to see 🥲. If possible can the contrast and weight of the lines be increased to something a bit more accessible? The table is a really useful tool when it comes to planning activities. In the future it would be nice to be able to merge cells or import tables more seamlessly from Sheets, CSVs, etc. But starting with being able to see it would be great.
