I would love to be able to change the default fill / stroke color / and corner rounding of sections within Figma. I find myself spending a lot of time adjusting sections after initial creation to the way I like them throughout my files.

Adding to this - being able to adjust the default section padding like we can for the nudge amount! Mine has a default of 80 and it’s too tight, so I’d need to manually adjust it every time and no one has time for that.

 

Auto-layout within sections would also save so much time.

I WHOLLY support both of the above comments ^ updating the default fill/stroke/corners for sections + adding a setting for the default section padding would be a significant time saver.

Maybe also a setting for the default margin/gutter between frames within a section? I prefer there to be 100px between each frame, but when I copy and paste a frame, Figma automatically places the new frame 40px away.

+1, Oh please, I’d love to have the default style for sections.

+1 — the same way that we have “Set default properties” for text, we should be able to do the same for sections. Additionally, I agree that auto-layout within sections would be incredibly valuable.
