Suggest a Feature

Hi There, sorry if this is repeated feedback but I tried to search for it and couldn’t find one that matched exactly what I wanted to share. I am working on a component that is basically a ListItem with a padding of 12px. But this component has a boolean toggle to activate a secondary line of text and when this happens the padding should be 24px. To do this I have created a variable to change the padding size, but I have to change this manually when toggling on the secondary text line. The suggestion would be to have the Layer Variable directly on the Boolean Property panel so we can link a toggle with the layer variable for this scenario. Like in the screenshot. If this is already possible to do let me know how 🙂 but since I couldn’t find a way to do it I decided to open this suggestion thread. Thank you!

Hey everyone, not sure if this has been asked before. It would be great if we could save autolayout settings like a style, to keep consistency for things like lists and other ‘laid out’’ UI elements. So everytime you click autolayout, you have the option to apply an auto-layout style that defines spacing, direction, alignment, padding etc… I know you can apply variables, but it’s a manual process for any of the above parameters, and you can make a variable for direction and alignment. I hope it makes sense! Thanx!

Having the ability to create a dataset and then apply that to a component or frame. How? Example: I could have a dataset which would sit alongside variables for colours; each item in the dataset would have a title and hex code. { title: ‘Purple’, hex: ‘#A020F0’ }, { title: ‘Red’, hex: ‘#FF0000’ } Then, you could choose a frame and attach a dataset to the frame; anything inside the frame would automatically apply the data, so now I have two cards inside a frame that have the data applied. Why? One of the annoying things to manage in Figma is components and content. You have to manually go through each element to change and update text or find and replace, but it’s not a simple job. Whereas you could just have a dataset you change, and all designs would update accordingly. I know you could specify strings in Figma variables, but having each item on a line and then creating and applying modes is not manageable. There are also quite a few plugins that offer a service similar to this, but a

It’s a pretty straightforward idea. I just copied a color and created a square, but the square was gray, not the color I copied. Would be nice to skip a couple steps.

Currently, you can use prototyping features to change between variants of a component via the “Change to” interaction. However, a component may have properties other than variant properties, i.e., boolean, text, and instance swap. I would like to be able to modify these properties, too, when prototyping. For my specific use case, I have a component with a boolean property that toggles the visibility of a child element. I realize that I could turn this boolean property into a variant property and be able to prototype the desired interaction via “Change to”. However, this would double the number of variants that I have (each existing variant in the off/false state and in the on/true state) which is not desirable, especially if you’re working with several boolean properties and the number of variants will grow exponentially.

Heyall! Wanted to suggest convert rectangle to frame option. Usercase: When doing quick sketches, I tend not to care about framing groups, or adding autolayout - simply to keep a good creative flow ✨ Once we’ve landed design and choosing which sketches to use going forward, I usually clean up the existing sketches, adding autolayout, name frames and so on. Instead of deleting the rectangle (background), I would like to convert rectangle to frame, where the connected elements simply were added in the frame. Let me know if anyone have a smooth work-around 😃

Hi, I love the Multiple-Edit Mode as it greatly assists me while working with Components, despite hearing some complaints from others. In my case, I am unable to utilize certain hidden functions that are convenient for my workflow, such as Ctrl+2Click to hug content or Alt+2Click to fill the container. In my opinion, the Multiple-Edit Mode is a part of the editing process, so it should not block the editing functions that help keep the workflow going.

Good Day, One thing I was hoping would happen, is that when creating a Component Set, that the original selections I had would be replaced by an instance of their new component, positioning them exactly as they were, with the relevant variant from the newly created Component. If possible, I’d like to see the feature make it to Figma — it would cut out a good deal of menial work!

There should be a collection module in community resources to save the files in a collection because right now it is very disturbing to navigate through all the resources placed at one place in saves.

When copying text, I, as a developer, intend to apply it the way it was copied, to avoid problems with incorrect manual adjustments. But this does not happen when we use the feature to change the capitalization of a text (Case). If the designer set the text to be changed to uppercase, and I copy it in Dev Mode, it will remain in lower case, even showing in UPPER CASE in the Figma file. For creation mode, I think that the text should not be converted even for creation adjustments, but in Dev Mode it is very important that when I copy the text it comes with the right characters for use. I say this because I had a problem with this recently, the text was in capital letters and I was trusting that I had copied everything correctly, then I discovered that the problem was that it didn’t actually convert the characters.

Allow me to create a prototype/website in Figma, collect to stripe, and actually take a payment. This would help entrepreneurs and designers quickly test variants of an idea. Figma can take a % of sales built on the platform

Thought that I’d suggest adding a percentage indicator on the linear gradient colour selector. When I’m adjusting the colours in my linear gradient track, I’d like to know the precise location where my colours are on the track - a feature currently not included. If the far left of that track is 0, the far right is 100, and I have a colour marker near the middle then I’d like to know if my middle marker is at 50, or 51, or 49. This allows me to be precise with my colours when creating new gradient templates that I can then use throughout my projects. Thanks

When you make a rule guide in Dev move you should be able to copy the px Value that gives you.

I’m prototyping a piece of music making hardware, with certain functions being triggered by combination button presses. I’m using a the iOS companion app to test out interactions, and I thought I could use a combination of variables and if/else conditions to register button combinations. But I’m running into a problems, as it doesn’t appear the Figma prototypes support multitouch? EXAMPLE Button1 is a shift button, and I have it setup so my boolean variable ‘Shift’ is set to ‘true’ on touch down, and ‘false’ on touch up. In other words, ‘Shift’ should be true while I press Button1, and that works fine. Button2 is a mode selection button, that should activate one mode when pressed, and another if Button1 is held. Button2 works fine enough on its own, but nothing happens if I’m simultaneously holding down Button1. This indicates to me that Figma prototypes only supports one touch input at a time. Is this true, or am I doing something wrong? I’ve tried googling it, but I can’t find specif

I think it would be useful to have a time/date stamp tool for collaborative teams. It can help people understand when some items on a board were last touched or updated, which is especially useful for content.

It would be great if you could do some rework on the prototype panel in order to make it more accessible and easy to use, especially when dealing with conditionals. You want an MVP for that? Just allow us to resize the panel, that would already be a massive improvement. Having scroll up and down constantly is a waste of time and leads to quickly lose track of what we’re doing Just look at how much we have to scroll in a simple prototype 😅 Cheers!

Command + W / Right-clicking and closing works, but would be nice to have a close button similar to other tabs.

I think there should be an easily accessible feature to select similar items that are currently hidden.

When I am working with my employer, we refer to another comment in the file all the time. Most of the time it’s older comments so it would be great to use “#CommentNumber” on a comment and click on that hashtag to quickly jump to that comment. This would greatly improve my workflow and maybe everyone else who communicates with comments.

I keep forgetting that it’s a version history screen and trying to modify the design. I want to receive a notification that if I try to modify the design on the version history screen, it cannot be modified. With these notifications, I will be able to quickly recognize and cope with what is called a version history screen.

Hello, importing TIFF images is only available while using Safari for now, and this is pretty annoying because when you try to import multiples images with some formats not take in charge there is no error message By exemple during my work i imported a database on Figma with .jpg .pdf and .tiff I got an error message only for 1 pdf file, and the others no And few hours later when i finished my work, i just realised that a bunch of files weren’t imported, without i got any error message about it. To resume: Add TIFF support everywhere (Google, Safari, Figma App, etc) Add multiple error messages while importing elements

When I create a typo style, I want to apply a default color to the typo style so I can win some time.

Our org is using Azure DevOps for ticketing, pipelines, allTheThings, etc. You can place a link to a figma file, but you cannot embed rich Figma frames into tickets. This would dominate…as work tickets are used as the source of truth for developers, product, and so on - and having the real up-to-date design asset embedded into the ticket (like Jira) would be of infinite value. Many thanks!

Being able to quickly preview windows from other open files would be really useful when switching between files. It would save time having to fully open each file to see the contents. A suggestion would be to add a shortcut button (like Ctrl+ Tab) that pops up a window previews from all open files. This would let you see an overview of each file without having to fully switch over. You could then click on a preview to open that file. This would be especially helpful for people working on multiple related designs or prototypes at once. Has anyone else found it would speed up their workflow to get a quick glimpse of other open files? Let me know if you have any other thoughts on this idea! I think a preview window feature could help streamline file switching.

Unordered lists have an indentation, but numbered lists don’t. I’ve tried everything to make it work, but can’t. Maybe I’m missing something but would love this to work as expected 🙂
