Nested properties do not show up when selecting multiple instances of components Example when selecting 1: Example when selecting multiple: My expectation would be to also be able to set up the decoration left icon when I'm selecting both layers. 

Flow chart process mapping is good. Adding line jumps would make it great!

Dear Figma employees, Thank you for your incredible hard work on a software that has confidently made me leave InDesign and in many ways Illustrator in the dust. (even though Adobe is your owner now...) Any hopes for a Lock Guides feature in 2026?

For instances where a user is creating a flow chart and the text formatting bar isn’t needed, can there be a way to either hide it entirely (similar to hiding UI) or being able to pin it to a location (like its attached to the Tool bar)? Having it open all the time when you’re clicked on an object can be frustrating when trying to see if you have a connecting line or to read an object right above it.  

I was super pumped to start using grids for my layouts until I learned of one fatal flaw that killed my excitement :(  The inability to set a row height to hug is simply a deal-breaker for me. Also no variables support for gaps? really?

I see we can double click the edge of a section to match contents, which is truly so lovely. I would like that to be taken a step further: a one-click option that causes a section to resize itself according to contents without further intervention, functionally in the same vein as the Figma auto-layout feature.When in Figjam, I want to focus on thinking and planning. Repeatedly zhuzhing layout is such a relentless distraction. It would be nice to be able to check a box on a section that says “Manage yourself, please!” So I can keep scooting. That’s all! Thank you for your time, and such a nice app! 

We need a way in the REST API to get a list of Team IDs. A previous post (Suggestion: API endpoint for :team_id) was moved to ‘share an idea’ and then marked as solved, so I’m reposting sans solution, in hopes that we can get some votes. With the new library analytics API, this feels more relevant than ever. I want my users to pick the team their library is in from a list, and then pick the library file from a list of files. Trying to get end users to figure out how to get the library file ID is needlessly complicated to start taking advantage of the new API, when I could set up a system to let them pick it from a list. Almost all of the endpoints require a Team ID… (or require a file ID, the list of which requires a project ID, which requires a Team ID… etc.) So adding a Team API would unlock improved usability for almost every other REST API endpoint.

Is it possible to change default font in Figma? (from Inter to Mardoto)

I know that I can export as SVG from draw.io and then drag and drop in FigJam but this does not allow me to edit. I would like to import a flowchart from draw.io in an editable format. Thanks.

I’m using Figma Make to leverage my company’s internal design system. I’ve made some progress, but I’m still running into issues with it properly consuming our system. Right now, Figma Make creates its own set of design tokens or references tailwind tokens to create lookalikes of our designs. I have spent a lot of time adding code context to our variables in our design system library, but these seem to be ignored by the figma Make llm when it generates the designs.I have our system’s components loaded into the private NPM registry. I have the styles and token packages in there as well. There is no reason it shouldn’t try using them first, and I’ve even told Make how to consume them (in several different ways). It seems to prefer tailwind/radix regardless, which is no longer acceptable, and is causing additional churn cycles for our teams.Instead of trying to force tailwind/radix to look like our design system (and repeating this process for every new Make we mak

We’re attempting to use Figma make with our internal design system and I’m running into several issues regarding context provided to Figma’s coding AI models:Our design system has around 80 components that all need guidline files in the guidelines directory according to the Make documentation. I’ve created these files with AI connected to our internal MCP server. 80 or so files. To get these files into Make, I had to create them manually one-by-one and copy/paste the contents in for each make. Theoretically I could do this with a template Make file that everyone starts with, but this is cumbersome regardless.Here is what I’m requesting:Ability to push guidelines to a figma make project without needing to copy the project. I have like 80 files representing different components that needed context. (generated from our MCP/Cursor) Ability to push our codex packages from our engineering MCPs so they can be consumed a

I often duplicate existing mocks to work on feature updates. Deleting previous annotations one by one is extremely tedious. It would be helpful if the tool could recognize when a frame has been duplicated and then allow bulk clearing of annotations.

It doesn’t look like there’s an obvious way to change the order of exposed nested instances. Right now the order seems to be based on reverse layer order. It’d be great if the order can be manually adjusted.

With the increasing popularity of iPads among creative professionals and the device's capabilities now rivaling many laptops — especially with Apple Pencil support and desktop-class processors — it’s surprising that a leading design platform like Figma hasn't released a fully functional iPad app. Is this a matter of strategic prioritization, where Figma believes the current user base doesn’t demand it strongly enough to justify development resources? Or is it due to technical limitations, perhaps stemming from the complexities of maintaining feature parity with the desktop/web version on iPadOS? Alternatively, is Figma's vision more aligned with a cloud-first, desktop-class browser experience, where portability across devices takes a backseat to collaborative infrastructure? If so, does this approach overlook the rising trend of mobile-first or tablet-based design workflows? It would be insightful to understand if Figma simply hasn't seen en

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

I personally abuse figma heavily, while I do use it also to create very rough designs for webapps that I build custom for our business. I mainly use it as a personal todo system. everything I ever do gets a small frame in figma where I collect knowledge I need to execute the small project. Now my question/idea is that figma can be used for so much more than design. For example I would love to have AI browse the web through hundreds of different sites and collect me vast amounts of information. And then I would love to have AI put that all into little text boxes in Figma. So I have a vast graph of information.I know figjam already kind of allows this but it’s a fraction of what I have in mind.I want vast agent networks to do extreme reasearch for me. And then on the graph I want to be able to say “lets continout to do research at this node of the graph” and then it would essentially allow me to brainstorm in various directions. For example I

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

It would be great if, when I insert a component from a Figma library in Figma Make, I could use Figma Code Connect to retrieve the actual design system code linked to that component.

Hi! I upgraded my Figma account from using the free version to the basic plan. Since I did that I can no longer switch to design mode when I could do that with my free account. Please can someone fix this asap. Otherwise I will downgrade my account.

I often need to paste screenshots into Figma from mobile devices of various sizes. We work at the pt/dp scale, so it would be awesome if there was a setting someplace where you could have Figma try to determine the proper pt/dp size of the device/display from which the screenshot came and then automatically resize it to match that.Example: I drop in a screenshot from an iPhone 16 Pro onto the canvas. As of posting this, Figma sizes the screenshot to 603x1311, but based on the original dimensions of the image, it should be able to determine (or do a best guess) of which device it’s from, and then resize it to the proper pt values of 402x874. Half of this info is already stored in Figma’s roster of frame sizes (i.e. when creating a new frame, you get a ton of device choices with the proper pt sizes), so I have to imagine this is possible to pull off. Obviously not with 100% accuracy...but currently my workflow requires me to resize these screenshots 100% of the time! 

I’m wondering - why do we need the instance swap property? Usually our components have variants therefore the nested component property is a better option. In my opinion, the nested properties should appear automatically once I place a nested instance of one component inside another. 

I have a numeric input field as a component, and its value is set as a text property called value. Pretty simple stuff, right?For prototyping reasons, I want to bind this field's value to a number variable, so I can add/subtract to this value when I press a button somewhere else on the screen. Also pretty simple stuff, right? Well, apparently not. Turns out I just found out that we can't bind number variables to text properties for whatever reason — they don't even show on search results. And since there's no component property of type number, this simple prototyping scenario I'm trying to achieve appears to be impossible. Meanwhile, if I simply remove the value property from my component, then select the plain text layer with the value and try to bind it to my

Can a remark function be added to personnel management to write remarks for each member's name?

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this If I add an image to figma and then resize that image I would like to export it at the original resolution. Maybe if there was even a button to resize the image to the full size. 2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.)

Vertical text is pretty common for east Asian text like Japanese and Chinese. Can you make this a feature?
