Have the ability to show/hide a specific object on a frame

It would be helpful to have objects on a frame and then have the ability to show them when you hover over something or click on something. UXPin has this and it makes prototyping so much faster.

Be able to Import and/or Copy + Paste Data over to Figma from Excel

What do you think of this feature; allowing Figma users to import table data from Excel sheet and present the table on canvas, styled as specified by the user before importing the data. I specify my number of Col, row to match the what’s on the excel sheet and I browse to file and click Import. Please can we have the feature on next update please.

Local variables uses ‘.’ instead of ‘-’ in variable name

There are two basic conventions for writing design tokens: action.color.primary action-color-primary I would like an option with ‘.’ for consistency with our design token naming convention but this character is not supported.

Overlay relative to the first relative parent

As in CSS, a Child with an absolute position relates its position to the first Parent with a relative position. This could be possible when setting overlays in Prototype if you add a few options in Prototype mode: Set as relative - option available for the element selected, same as “Scroll behaviour” shows when selecting an element; Listen to the first relative parent - option available for any overlay and when that is enabled the overlay positions itself to the first relative parent instead of the element that is used to trigger it. This should not break existing prototypes.

Hope slides functions coming out soon~

My team create slides with Figma today, it becomes a trouble when export that we have to use plug-ins. We hope slide functions can be noticed, like playing fullscreen on the pc. All our best wishes to Figma, thanks.

Allow a Stroke/Outline on elements

We as a team have been using FigJam for our ideation, inspiration boards, etc… similar to a Miro as you’d expect. Our team adds many screenshots (images), but multiple people in our team have brought up that with the white background of the FigJam canvas and screenshots often having white as a common background color its hard to quickly scan through images as their edges bleed into the background canvas. I’m not sure if its just our team that has found this, but the suggestion to have a stroke/outline option for images has come up, but I don’t see a way to currently do that.

Refresh scroll when searching community

I’m searching a query in Figma Community, let’s say “free icons”. Then, I scroll down to get more results. Now, I write another query to the search bar and, when I hit enter to search, the updated results are shown but the scroll position is the same, so I have to manually go up to the first results because I have a filter of “Relevancy”, so I want to see the top results first. And that becomes an obstacle for me when I’m at the very bottom of the page of my previous query.

Variables should have a boolean groups type for prototyping

There should be a way to more easily support prototyping an interaction where only one item in a group can be active — such as radio groups, accordion panels, or even simple navigation bars. Right now each of the items in the group need a boolean variable, and when one is clicked that item needs to be set as True and all of the other items need to be individually set to False. This is approach is manageable with a group of 3 items, but its a pain in the ass for anything over 5. Ideally, if I set one item in the Boolean Group to True, it would then set all of the other instances to False. Just like an html Radio group works.

FigJam: item count when multiple items are selected

Would love to see an item count somewhere in FigJam when multi-selecting a large group of items on the board. Would also apply to small groups of items, but an item count that tells me how many things are selected would be lovely. Thank you!

Resizable prototype windows, instead of a single screen size

With Auto Layout, much of our designs are already responsive. Let the prototype windows be resizable like a browser. Could even offer breakpoints to switch to different component variants. I know there’s workarounds and best practices, but I’m saying it’d be best to support this behavior natively, instead of forcing people to do silly workarounds. “Best practices” needing to exist simply means that you missed the ball on building an opinionated and correct tool. <3

Search should be able to find layers with visibility off

For example searching keyword ‘Tooltip’ here should find 2 results But only one is returned This presents a problems when maintaining designs and design systems. Please make invisible layers findable as well. I don’t care if it should be a setting to include or exclude invisible layers. As long as I can search and find them. Currently I cannot at all. 😵‍💫

Can we have an function that add varibles in the text style?

Can we have an function to add variables in the text style? For the reason that we mockup the design with the series of medium font, while our manager wants to see the other versions with small font and large font. So, we can switch the version like the new page mode feature. 🐱

Reduce an inactive user's visibility

Idea: 💡 Temporarily reduce or remove a user’s visibility of a file. Where it came from: I love being able to create, share and collaborate with my team on Figma but sometimes, I want to show early iteration ideas then go back into my creative bubble with no one watching what size line I draw, what font I chose etc during the iteration stage when my creative brain is exploding with various things to try likewise I have witness some users open a file and don’t contribute but because their avatar is present it looks as though they are active, I’ve also found sometimes users aren’t contributing they are simply watching, it can feel incredibly intimidating, is there a feature to temporary remove a user either by choice or after a time out if they haven’t contributed to any design.

Drag and delete option in recent files

Add a Delete option like recycle bin in ‘Recent Files’ in any bottom corner. Which can be used by just dragging unnecessary projects to the delete icon/option. This will help us to manage our projects or extra files in a more easy manner.

Use expressions to set object properties (e.g. size)

I want to use an expression to set the width of an object so it matches the width of another object. I imagine it to work like this: In the width property: = width of [layer] The concrete use case looks as such: For a library component in its loading state, the text is replaced with a skeleton (an animated gradient). Auto-layout doesn’t allow me to keep the width of the default state - that is determined by the text layer (hug) – when switching to the loading variant.

Adjust prototyping connectors path

Prototyping connnectors can really quickly go on top of other designs and get all over the place. Letting us edit the path of the connectors with handles (in a similar way to FigJam) would make it much much easier to prototype.

Creating separator among files instead of "---"

It would be really cool if there is a divider for the pages, instead of making a new page and naming it “—” to be able to categorize them or like the one you do for the variable collections. <3

Update popup interrupts everything and appears on top of currently running app

Figma was not running, I was playing a game, and then in the middle of urgent activity in game my game got put to tray and Figma update popup appeared on top of everything. WHAT THE HECK? Is that how you do proper UX? Interrupt whatever I’m doing and tell me that some update is available?

Design Rating

Hi all, I’m excited to share my very first design project with all of you. 🎉 As someone who is just starting out in the world of design, I’ve put a lot of effort into creating something that I’m proud of. However, I also understand that there’s always room for improvement, and that’s where you all come in! I`d really appreciate your feedback, thanks alot. Figma – 22 Aug 23

Tagging someone follows the copy paste comments

Hi, It would be great, while copy pasting a comment with a tagged person @, follows in the new comment. It would allow to do not have to re-tag @ people again in the new comment. I hope my feedback is helpful for Figma and users. Loïc

Idea: Show the selection link title in Jira instead of the file name

In the Figma plugin for Jira, when I share a link to a component, section, or frame it shows the title of the Figma file. It would be more helpful to show the title of what I am linking to so that if multiple links are in a ticket the viewer can have the additional context to tell what the link is for.

Variable Collection Adjustments

Hell, I’m trying to make it easy to select specific variables. I use a collection called “Foundations” that just store all the raw values. I use a collection called “Tokens” that store all the semantic values. When I give an fill to something, I want to be able to only select from the “Tokens” collection. It’s difficult now because “Foundations” appears first and I can’t sort it. Either that or I want to disable the ability to select things from the “Foundations” collection entirely

Option to always start prototypes from the same page/frame

Prototype links get shared around by various people. Sometimes links are shared from a mid-point of a prototype by copying the url out of the address bar. This is useful for directing to a specific point of the user experience. I’d also like a share option that forces everyone to start from the same page so they are experiencing the full flow instead of jumping into a mid-point if someone unintentionally (or intentionally) shares a different url.
