Copy comments when duplicating a page, duplicating a project, manually copy-pasting frames, etc

Hello,

Are there plans to keep comments within pages/frames when:

  • Duplicating a page
  • Copy-pasting all the elements within a page
  • Duplicating a document

I tried all three methods and the comments don’t get copied across, there’s also no way to select them to manually copy+paste them.

I see absolutely no reason for this not to be the default behavior when performing all of the above actions.

Are there plans to introduce this?

If so when do you plan to add it?

Thank you!

YES PLEASE! This is absolutely necessary and would really improve the experience. So far there is nothing that solves this.

When consolidating Figma and FigJam files, it is quite a pain for us to not have the comments carried with the objects being copied. I’m sure others feel the same way. I would love to see this on the roadmap as an option (e.g. after pasting, it asks if comments should be included or not).

If anyone finds or creates a plug-in that can copy Figma or FigJam comments, please share it here!

It’s absolutely needed we work in a studio file and a client file and and we get the comments on the client file. We need a way to transfer the commend to the studio file .
the reason for having two files in the first place is to not disclose our work on the project between meetings.

just having a copy with comments shortcut would do

Hi, when we move mockups to another project or page, all comments that were attached to a mockup stay on the old page/project. So it means they do not follow what they are belonging with. It is a redundant issue that I meet when I try to curate my designs and I would be happy if you could fix that. It should work with a cut/paste or copy/paste.

I have seen some posts were you explain that we need to use the right-hand button but it is clearly not intuitive as I have never seen this after more than 1 year of use of your software now.

I ran into this issue today when moving components from a work file into the design system. My coworker is on leave now so theres some comments she left in the component, I don’t want to delete it so when i tried transferring the component all the comments disappeared. would be helpful if you cut the comment it can be moved to another page or another file. thank you!
