Hey there.

As you know, we can already apply multiple fill color or apply multiple variable color to a single frame. But we can only apply one “style” to a single frame.

 

The problem comes when you want to give a single frame multiple effect. assume I have a focus ring, and a subtle shadow. my elements might sometimes have shadows, and sometimes have a focus ring, and in some cases, they might have both. for now, if I want to create styles, I need to make 3:

focus-ring-neutral
shadow-sm
focus-ring-shadow-neutral

I understand that the logic behind the style was to make layers of attributes (styles) all saved as one name. but in cases you want to mix a few things, you have to save all combinations that you might use. 

is it possible that to be able to add multiple effect style to a single frame instead of creating more customized styles? Image below shows how “Fill” has a plus button and can have multiple values (Variable or raw value), but Effects, like other “Style” only can be applied once:
 



here is an example of focus ring and shadow that I am talking about:
 

Left: focus ring / Middle: shadow / Right: focus ring + shadow

Yes! I am surprised Figma still doesnt have this feature, as it is an essential “design system” practice, both on the process of design and development of an application. Hope they implement it soon.
