Hello Figma team and community,I’ve been working on a project where I need to display detailed information about multiple people (or products) in a modal. The setup is simple: Each Card component has exposed properties (Name, Job, Description, Photo). On hover/click, the card should open a global Modal that shows the same information. Currently, the only way to make this work in prototypes is to use Set variable → literal values (e.g., selName = "Norman"). This means: Every instance of the card requires manually duplicating interactions with hardcoded values. If I update the Card property (e.g., change the person’s name or job), the modal still shows the old hardcoded value unless I also update the variable action. This breaks scalability. For 10, 20, or 50+ people, it becomes very time-consuming and error-prone. 💡 What I would like to request:The ability for Variables to “read” the exposed properties of a component instance and pass those values dynamically to the Modal. In oth

why make this so hard? This should be in an obvious place. I read the info on the site seems to be out of date anyone know where this is? It’s supper annoying to look for billing info and writing in help chats instead of doing proper work. going rate this product way longer just because I wasting my time on things that should easily accessible.

Sometimes I want one boolean component property to both show something, and hide something else. It would be cool to be able to not only assign a boolean property to layer visibility, but also to indicate that it should show the layer if the property is false. Example scenario: Imagine a situation where I’m designing favourites section on the app’s sidebar. I want a sidebar to be a component. Now when favourites is empty, I want to show an empty state with a CTA instead of the CTA. And I want to add a toggle that both hides an empty state, and shows a list of favorite items.

Is it possible to map the HUG or FILL to a variable. It would be great to not only assign particular width values, but also set the width to either hug or fill the container.

Although Figma recommends Focusing on desktop and full-screen friendly outcomes, the available frame presets are only for mobile. So every time, I end up having to create custom sizes for desktop or tablet.

Is there a way to change the Background Color for the following: Figma Dev Mode - Component Playground panel Figma Dev Mode - Compare Changes panel Currently the colors of my components and the background clash, and I’m unable to properly view the components in those listed panels/views.

Hi Figma team,I often need to show the flow between screens or components in my Figma design files. Currently, I find myself copying arrows from FigJam into Figma because they’re quick, lightweight, and visually ideal for interaction mapping.One of the things I really appreciate about FigJam arrows is how they automatically adjust when elements are moved and how they bend intelligently, something most plugins or manual arrow workarounds don’t handle well. It’s a huge time-saver when exploring flows or doing quick iteration, and it keeps everything clean and readable.With the recent addition of annotation and measurement tools in Figma, I was wondering if similar arrow/connector functionality could be added natively to Figma design files. Having this built in would make it so much easier to communicate user journeys, navigation, or logic flows directly within a design file, especially during handoff or design reviews.Thanks for all the amazing updates you’ve been rolling out!

Feature to create 'flow interactions’. Meaning interactions that are only active within a specified flow. If no flow is specified, the interaction behaves as it currently does.This feature would allow to assign different actions to the same element (e.g., a button) depending on the active flow.For example:In Flow A, clicking a button navigates to Page A. In Flow B, clicking the same button navigates to Page B.Would help for: Easily compare different user journeys without duplicating frames or creating multiple prototypes Reduces clutter by eliminating the need for separate copies of the same element or screen for different flows Supports more complex, context-aware prototyping scenarios

I’m surprised that after three years, FigJam still doesn’t support vertical text alignment in shapes. This has been a longstanding request (as evidenced by this older forum thread), and it’s a must-have for creating clean and professional-looking diagrams. Being able to align text to the top, center, or bottom of a shape is a standard feature in most design and diagram tools, and its absence in FigJam makes it harder to organize content quickly and consistently. Please consider adding vertical text alignment options to improve productivity and the overall user experience in FigJam.

Love that branches were added but would like to make some suggestions: Support sub-branches from branches. This is a really helpful way to signify milestones in an app design and allow for many avenues of exploration and iterations with the ability to only merge the branch (feature or milestone) which was approved. See example below of how I would ideally structure the process of a project

Hi Figma team, First, thanks for the amazing work on the design tools. I’d like to request a larger window for the color variable picker. I understand that resizing the text style picker might be difficult due to font binding and async loading. However, for the color variable picker, it seems relatively straightforward since the window can already be dragged. Is there a reason why resizing isn’t supported? Modified by tampermonkey

Similar to how we can filter colors from different libraries, We also should be able to select and filter typographies from different libraries.Colors Library Selection: 

I could work faster if I was able to type my variable or style names directly into the HEX value input. Save me a click please! 

It would be great to have an option like "Highlight Text" in the text editor tool next to the underline text option.

This has become a defacto standard in modern apps (Chrome, VS Code etc) and it sticks out that Figma doesn’t support. Also seems like a pretty quick win to implement.

We work in a large company with over 100k employees and have very strict rules on how to share content with clients. What we are missing are advanced sharing options for “only-view”. Sometimes, we want to share content as a ‘view-only link’ with the client to receive comments and feedback directly on the artboards. Other times, we want to share as a ‘view-only link’ but without the possibility for viewers to leave comments. This crucial option is currently unavailable for us, and it would be great if this feature could be added to the sharing options. Thanks! 👍

Figma needs a glyph panel to access glyphs per specific font. Photoshop and Illustrator have this feature and it is a necessity for typographic design. Having to leave Figma and go to Photoshop or Illustrator is incredibly inefficient. Implementing better type setting tools within Figma would be a major improvement

I would really like to be able to grab the hex color when I am in Draw mode. I have to switch back to Design mode to do this.   

After discussing the subject at length with the support, here’s a summary of what Figma allows and doesn’t allow in terms of library sharing (hint: it’s not that simple), and how it could be streamlined: Currently, as a component library creator, here are the options you have in order to share your library (I will not include the options for a Starter plan, they are legitimately limited) As a Pro user: Publish it and share it within your Team (to users you - or your admin - pays for) using the Team library feature. They can access the component anywhere inside the Team’s files, and get realtime updates. Links are preserved throughout even with multiple files. Share it on Community (to users outside your Team): they can duplicate the file to their respective spaces, without live updates. Links won’t be preserved if the library includes multiple files. Share it via link (view-only) to selected users: they can either duplicate it (although not as easy as a Community file), or use it as a

Hey everyone, I’ve been scratching my head trying to figure out how to download videos from Snapchat without running into trouble.I know the platform’s all about privacy, so I don’t want to risk my account or someone else’s content. Are there trustworthy apps or clever tricks that actually work for saving videos from snaps or stories?Also, does it matter if it’s a private snap versus a story?I’d love to hear personal experiences, tips, or even warnings about what not to do.

Could be great to copy HEX code quickly by helding down option key and click on a color with or without color style/variable.

When I copy assets from Illustrator and then paste into Figma, it pastes as a raster image. Keep it as a vector when I do this workflow.

Hello, I would like to give you feedback from users! New function - annotation very nice and useful. Thank you. There are a few comments - maybe it will be useful for your product. I'd just like the ability to group cards. Also, with a large number of cards in a single frame, it becomes very crowded and the cards overlap, which isn't very convenient. It might be better if will possible to customize the position of the cards and perhaps add a hide/show feature in the right panel so they don't interfere with other work—like you can do with the grid. This is a new feature, and I wanted to leave some feedback, as my company really appreciated it! Thanks again.

Figma Make recently added the ability to bring generated ideas into Figma Design files. This is great.I started developing a workflow where I:get Make to generate the initial concept (with linked design system) Copy the generated frames into a Design file to tweak (as this is quicker than crafting a bunch of prompts) - and create components. Copy the updated designs back into Make and continue adjusting. Repeat steps 2 and 3This feels like a good hybrid approach to working alongside the AI to craft interfaces.Between steps 2 and 3 - on the second iteration - where I have pasted the updated version into Make, made more changes and then copied that version back into Design - all the component instances have been converted into frames. When working on long term projects I want to be able to do some of the work in Design and some in Make - right now I have to chose one or the other due to this limitation.

As I was looking for a way to do this natively in Figma, I came across this concept article on Medium. In the article, Андрей Насонов (Andrey Nasonov) describes adding the option to choose alignment in the image settings beyond the default centered. This would be a simple but huge improvement to image settings, especially for responsive design. Here’s his example of how that might look on the Properties Panel for images: If anyone has found any way to work around this other than individually cropping images for different container widths, pls hmu! 🙏
