Add Dev Mode To Professional Subscription separately from design seat

I am outraged. How do you imagine I allow all my devs to be full-seats and give them the ability to edit designs? How about design ownership? In a day all devs lost their inspect tool, and the only way to get it back is to move to Org Plan or give them a full seat risking to get full chaos in design ownership. Any suggestions on how your teams ar planning to overcome this?

Seria genial que el modo dev no pueda pasar a editor. Quiero que el desarrollador pueda ver el modo dev pero que no tenga acceso a modo editor.

There were so many software updates after this topic past 9 month and Figma still don’t made any changes in this important problem. 🤕

Hi. It’s about half year passed after your post and nothing happens. There were several updates of Figma and no improvement in this question yet! How long we must wait for making separate roles for designers and developers?

Other products may build upon areas where Figma has room to grow, not necessarily due to flaws, but perhaps due to the natural ego that can develop with a large and loyal user base. It’s exciting to see how competition and innovation can push all tools to improve, and with time, we can expect even better solutions for everyone. Monopolies don’t last forever.

Any timeline for this?

This is extremely frustating, we are a small team of designers but a lot of devs, and from 4 seats we had to pay for 12 seats for devs, we just switched to other tools instead of doing this in Figma. sigh beginning of an end 😞

+1 Please remove edit rights for dev only mode. Devs accidentally edit the designs and it’s annoying.

Any updates on this? This is an insanely simple change on our end to make. Unreal.

+1 For this - the company I work for has 2 designers and 4 developers… I have no problem with paying for a dev seat as a full editor seat makes no sense. I don’t want to go through the files and see they accidentally changed things…? This seems very much like intentional friction designed for upsells if you ask me.
