Many developers have been asking for access to the file key from the Plugin API for years. The consistent answer is that file keys can't be exposed to public plugins for security reasons, and the only workaround is asking the user to paste the file link — which is frictional, unreliable, and doesn't survive file duplication.The core problemPlugins frequently need to associate per-file state (settings, subscriptions, licenses, local caches, external resource mappings) with the specific file they're running in. The current options all break down:figma.root.setPluginData — stored inside the file's content, so it's copied verbatim when the user duplicates the file. Any custom file ID we generate and store is cloned along with it. figma.clientStorage — scoped to the user's device, so it doesn't persist across collaborators, browsers, or machines. Useless for file-scoped state.

I can’t seem to change text colour inside shapes. I only get the option to change the background. The only way I was able to get it to work was to create a separate text layer change the colour there and then paste it inside the shape text area.

I’ve found slots incredibly buggy right now unfortunately. I love the idea, but they’ve been rather frustrating lately.I’ve had two bugs that seem related I have repeatedly had, but am unable to set up a test file for these. Slot sizes not adjustingSomething like this hierarchy. Despite the fact the two components are bound in an autolayout with gutter, it doesn’t seem to paint properly. I often have to double click the children components individually.Component >↪ Slot↪↪  Rows [Autolayout]↪↪↪ Row [Autolayout]↪↪↪↪ [Component]↪↪↪↪ [Component] Slot content not refreshingSometimes a colleague uses my account on their computer to check something. When checking an instance of a component with a slot, sometimes they see the default content and not the content I’ve put in there. Despite it being saved. I have found no solu

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

I’d like Figma components to support conditional/dependent properties inside the Properties panel.Current problem:Large design system components often expose many boolean, variant, text, slot, and instance-swap properties at the same time. Some of these properties depend on each other, but today they stay independent.Example:- If `Show Badges = false`, then `Slot Badges` should be hidden or disabled.- If `State = Active`, then `New Message`, `Show Separator`, and `Swap Icon` could automatically switch to predefined values.- If `Badge mode = Match`, then credential badges should be hidden automatically.- If one badge group is enabled, another mutually exclusive badge group should be disabled.Current workaround:We have to create more variants, nested components, or expose multiple booleans manually. This works, but it makes component APIs noisy and allows invalid sta

Hello,I have always been a big fan of your platform, especially because it was one of the few that had not given in to the model of charging subscriptions for standard use.However, it is now no longer possible to create more than three FigJam files, which seems to me like the beginning of changes that may gradually reduce features that were previously free.I have always recommended Figma and would not like to stop. Please do not follow this trend, as this was exactly what set you apart from others.I am Brazilian and used a translator to write this message.

Copy/pasting prototypes is possible with simple click interactions, as explained here: Create interactions – Figma Learn - Help Center however this does NOT work for conditional interactions with multiple if/then/else statements, which is arguably much more important, as it takes way longer to reproduce/copy over to another component.

I wish I could use text string variables to manage common property names across component variants. Many components in my design system share the same properties (eg, theme: light/dark, state: default/hover/pressed, size: small/default/large), but I have to hand key each of these for each main component. I wish I could have a list of these property names that could be reused between components. Having that would:Reduce the amount of manual entry Eliminate potential for typos Ensure a consistent vocabulary that translates better to tokens/code semantics Increase likelihood of consistent component variable taxonomy 

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

It would be really useful to have custom CodeSyntaxPlatform values. We’ve just created 100s of variables in code and used Tailwind tokens for the WEB platform, but it obviously it makes no sense when CodeGen is showing CSS (i.e. Web): It’s fine to have some core platforms, but being able to assign syntax for arbitrary platforms make a lot more sense: variable.setVariableCodeSyntax('WEB', `#${hex}`) variable.setVariableCodeSyntax('TAILWIND', `${prop}-${key}`) Ideally, there would be a UI for this, too:

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

There are 2 organizational things that I’ve been really wanting since starting to use Figma:Tab Groups: As someone who has a ton of different projects/clients, I would love to have the ability to group my open Figma files into tab groups. It would be amazing to be able to have a bunch of my projects open without overwhelming crowding in the tab bar. This could be similar to browser tab groups. Page Groups: Creating design systems is complex and super layered!! It would be extremely helpful to be able to group pages within a file or be able to establish parent and child pages.I know this is not the first time these things have been requested, but I’m hoping they could be added as a quality of life update in the near future!

When creating tokens and working with variables Dev Mode generates code where the group name is included as part of the token name. Currently this doesn’t make too much sense (for me at least) and in Figmas own variables tutorial it would result in spacing tokens being called “SpacingSpacing-sm” if you would look at the tokens in Dev Mode. Can we please get an option to exclude the group names from the generated code? The groups as I seem them are for organising and not necessarily something we want to automatically include in the token name. Semantics are important for tokens so if I have to leave out part of the name and only have it as part of a group name it makes reading the token and using it correctly in Figma so much harder. Definitely interested in hearing others experience regarding this! Maybe i missed something or should rethink our structure.

I’m having trouble exporting PDFs of frames. Do you know if the export functionality embeds the fonts? I will import the generated pdf frame into another work that requires to be PDF/A compliant, so I need the font embedded in the frame in the first place. I tried with Adobe Reader, and it does not say “embedded”, which is usually a sign that it’s not. I tried with another software (Okular), and it does say “fully embedded”.

This has been mentioned here: Hide layer using variables - #5 by Andreas_Braendhaugen1 Invert boolean variable for layer display - #14 by Desislava_Slavkova Inverted Boolean Property - #2 by drewcovi_usb but those topics are all closed. I am looking for the availability to HIDE a layer when a Boolean variable is TRUE and SHOW it when it is FALSE. So, the inverse of the default/current behavior. I want to do this without using components. Use case: When a variable is true, show one frame. When that same variable is false, show a different frame. I can get basically this by using two different variables:

It would be useful to have a tree menu, similar to the layers panel, to organize pages into subcategories. On structured projects, having all pages listed flat makes it nearly impossible to understand which areas to work on, and you waste too much time scrolling through them. A menu that mirrors the layers structure for pages would be a much better solution.

Thanks for adding annotations to Design Mode. I have been spending the last day annotating some new design ideas. People who have access to the Figma file love that they can read come design rationale and interaction behaviors. For others, who do not have access, or do not use Figma it would be great if I can export the annotations associated with objects inside a frame.  Thanks, K.

My suggestions is to allow users to include annotations and / or measurements  when they export images. Seems that we can’t currently do thisThe user benefits –allows users to share images with annotations and measurements when creating images to be shared wither wider stakeholders and creating documentation for other platforms. If we can’t export annotations and measurements, then for those instances requiring annotations in an export as an image, users won’t use the annotations feature, and revert to creating “Notes” manuallyHope this makes sense

As an Admin i want to be able to choose in a Workspace Level, which Workspace is allowed to use the Open Session Feature in FigJam. Currently there is either “on” or “off” for the whole tenant, which we cannot use due to security topics.This should be included like also to select for AI feature, or public link sharing.

Nowadays iPads have M4 and M5 processors completely capable of running something like FigmaI think for many people on the go and for many designers it would be great if the Figma app on Mobile, at least the iPad app would work as the desktop app on Mac.I’ve even found myself using the web version with Magic Keyboard because it’s what I have on a trip or so and sometimes the inspiration and ideation must flow

So I have this document that we use for one-pagers in my company. It exists in portrait, but I’m taking an existing one and making it landscape. When I take the original page and rotate it 90 degrees, the grids disappear. So far I’ve tried removing the grids and resetting them up shutting down Figma and restarting closing all tabs and reopening

Can we add image mirror/flip option, specially in components.  

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

Hello, good day.I’m experiencing serious issues with the new Figma UI update. Many essential tools — such as padding controls — are missing or hidden.Please do not enforce this new version. The previous UI was much better, clearer, and far more efficient for designers.This new version has no advantages, feels confusing, and makes our workflow significantly harder.

It would be really great to be able to have more flexible way to manage colors than just hex. for example when i create a hover color in my css i use “color-mix” which takes the base color and applies a white transparency into it.  i figure a way to do that using color styles by applying two layers together the base color and a color transparency on top, but i cannot do that in variables, it just forces me into a single hex/rgb color.I even tried to point to a color style from within the variables but couldn’t. In this day of css we need more flexibility than just hex and px. If you don’t evolve you’ll go the way of Axure, just saying.
