Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

It would be great if, when I insert a component from a Figma library in Figma Make, I could use Figma Code Connect to retrieve the actual design system code linked to that component.

I often need to paste screenshots into Figma from mobile devices of various sizes. We work at the pt/dp scale, so it would be awesome if there was a setting someplace where you could have Figma try to determine the proper pt/dp size of the device/display from which the screenshot came and then automatically resize it to match that.Example: I drop in a screenshot from an iPhone 16 Pro onto the canvas. As of posting this, Figma sizes the screenshot to 603x1311, but based on the original dimensions of the image, it should be able to determine (or do a best guess) of which device it’s from, and then resize it to the proper pt values of 402x874. Half of this info is already stored in Figma’s roster of frame sizes (i.e. when creating a new frame, you get a ton of device choices with the proper pt sizes), so I have to imagine this is possible to pull off. Obviously not with 100% accuracy...but currently my workflow requires me to resize these screenshots 100% of the time! If someone knows of

I’m wondering - why do we need the instance swap property? Usually our components have variants therefore the nested component property is a better option. In my opinion, the nested properties should appear automatically once I place a nested instance of one component inside another. 

Can a remark function be added to personnel management to write remarks for each member's name?

Vertical text is pretty common for east Asian text like Japanese and Chinese. Can you make this a feature?

Hello I miss a capabilitie to assign a number variable to the rotation field. In the today case, I simply try to rotate a SVG animation depending on the breakpoint. If somebody have a solution (no bolean 🙃) Thank you

Negative delay is a cool idea in prototyping when you need to start next action BEFORE current is ending, so next starts in 100ms before current ends

I know there’s an option to hide the components from a linked library by prefixing them with a “_” or a “.” but I also have components within my file that I don’t want to see on the search results. Is there a way to achieve this?

In figjam especially people commonly sketch out diagrams with lots of freeform lines used as arrows to point to things, sometimes as they talk about them (both when brainstorming and when annotating). It would be a really nifty feature for advanced users to be able to automatically have a line get converted into an arrow. Could also see this relevant in Figma too.I think everyone can maybe relate to the pain-point of having to either go into the setting to choose the arrow end-style for a line you just drew (a little finnickey and breaks flow if drawing to explain something on a screen-share) or else you manually draw the tip of the arrow each time for each line (doesn’t look good and if you want to move the arrow you have to select both the arrow tip you drew and the line itself)

Would be good if there was some way of exporting comments to a text file without the need of a Plug-in, helps build documentation

Hello,An admin-level dashboard for Figma AI analytics would be invaluable, giving us the visibility needed to:Measure Business Impact: Track adoption rates and usage to satisfy our internal reporting requirements. Drive Strategic Adoption: Identify which AI features are most popular and which teams are leading adoption. Support Our People: Celebrate team members who are regularly engaged with AI and identify users who may need more support to get started.

I have this use-case:All I want to do is ask the Figma AI to “Populate the same colour styling based on the syntax above, to the syntax below”.This is super easy for AI to understand.It should be in Figma already. There are so many example like this where because of the way the Figma interface works in relation to product UIs, some things take a disproportionally long time to do - e.g. “change all these pill components to this new one”.  

Figma: If you’re used to working in another design tool, you may find it strange that your text styles in Figma don’t include traits like color or justification. Although it could take some getting used to, hopefully the benefits of this approach will quickly become clear. Well, no it didn’t. And strange indeed. In addition to getting used to, it takes a lot of time to to change the color every single time I create a new text element, because our text color is not black. Having a default color saved with text styles would be SO. MUCH. EASIER. I see no reason why the color can’t be in there and also be changed when using the style, if necessary.

It is possible to make the Who can view setting default to only show people in my org. Having it default to Anyone on the web makes it easy for people to make public concepts they shouldn’t

Can we submit a feature request for Figma to improve its PDF export settings?Currently, PDFs exported from Figma are very large in file size, and end users are unable to use editing tools. I need exported PDFs to remain searchable and editable for legal needs, which is not functioning well in the current format.Additionally, it would be helpful to export multiple pages without relying on a plug-in. Having to use a plug-in adds an extra step to the process.Adobe XD generated smaller, cleaner PDFs that preserved searchability and edit functionality. This is one feature I genuinely miss from XD.

Hi everyone, Are there plans to support native JSON import/editing for variables and text styles, similar to what Token Studio does?One concrete use case: generating a full typographic scale (with sizes, line heights, naming etc.) from a structured JSON and importing it directly into Figma. Right now, creating or updating a large scale manually can be time-consuming and error-prone. As more teams generate tokens programmatically (and increasingly with LLMs), being able to automate the insertion and update of variables and text styles natively would save a significant amount of repetitive setup work. Is this something being considered for the core product?thanks in advance </3

Currently in text styles, we can assign variables to nearly all values except for list spacing, is there a reason for this?

Hello, I have a student (education) account on Figma, which should include all the Professional plan features. However, the option to enable Figma AI tools in the team settings does not work for me. Does anyone know if AI tools are available for education accounts, or how I can properly enable them?

I have been extensively using Figma Make for iterative AI-driven design exploration and observed a workflow-level limitation that may benefit from product consideration.During extended usage across multiple prompt iterations, there is currently no structured mechanism to manage or track AI-generated outputs in a systematic way. Specifically, there is no built-in version control or branching model that enables users to:• Track prompt-to-output evolution• Compare multiple AI-generated variations side by side• Branch or revert iterations in a structured manner• Maintain continuity across sessionsIn complex exploratory workflows, this creates cognitive overhead and reduces efficiency when managing multiple variations or refinement paths.Steps to reproduce: Generate multiple outputs using iterative prompts in Figma Make. Attempt to compare, branch, or revert earlier variations. Observe the absence of structured version tracking or variation management. Environment:Figma Web (latest Chro

Variables are missing for Effects like drop shadow, inner shadow, blur, and background blur. They should be used for the number fields and colors, so we can have dynamically applying themes and sizes for these effects.

As a design system team, we want the ability to trigger a plugin or widget callback when a user detaches a component instance from a library. This would allow us to collect contextual feedback at the moment of detachment, helping us understand why components are being detached and improve our libraries accordingly.ProblemFigma's library analytics already surface quantitative detach data (which components are detached, how often, and by whom). However, there is no way to capture the qualitative reason behind a detachment.Was the component missing a variant? Was there a bug? Did it not fit the use case?Currently, the only workaround is building a plugin that monitors documentchange events and attempts to infer detachments from node type changes. This approach is:Fragile — there is no reliable, documented way to distinguish a detach from other structural changesRequires the plugin to be actively running — there is no persistent or auto-launch mechanism, so coverage depends entirely on des

In Dev mode, sometimes the effects designed by the designer are not suitable for the developer.The developer may only need a cutout that contains a part of the layer or effect instead of the full cutout.But in Dev mode, there is no function to hide the layer or effect (small eyes), which will result in the designer having to deal with the extra layer repeatedly every time.

Figma should let local variables override external variables of the same name, just like CSS. For example, if a component uses primary-color from an external file, I should be able to override it in my local file by creating a variable with the same name and modes. This would make working with external components and theming far easier.
