The eyedropper is great, but there are a few limitations. These limitations are primarily around using the “i” shortcut for the eyedropper. Problem:Using the eyedropper to affect the stroke is an unnecessarily amount of interactions. If the object has a fill and a stroke, using the eyedropper only applies to the fill. Sure you can click on the colour swatch for the stroke to get to the eyedropped, but if it has a colour variable already applied you then need to click to the Custom tab and then click on the eyedropper from there. This results in multiple clicks in order to modify the stroke colour easily. Adding a stroke - current steps:Select the object Click the Plus to add a stroke Press i to activate eyedropper Shift click a variable colour to assign it Modifying a stroke (with a colour variable already applied) - current steps:Select the object Click the colour variable Click the Custom tab Click the eyedropper Sample the new colour variable holding shift  Proposed solution:When yo

It would be really helpful to be able to use a variable to set a Type Style’s Letter Case (under the Type Settings meatball menu). It could be a String Variable, and the options would be “As entered”, “Uppercase”, “Lowercase”, “Title case”, and “Small caps”. I personally use modes to switch between different brands, and some brand styles require uppercase while others don’t allow it. This suggestion may be a small feature in the grand scheme, but I wonder if others would also find it useful.

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

As a developer I want to be able to generate images based on the template of the designer. I want to be able to use the placeholders in Figma Buzz to dynamically add images to generate a design with variable content. 

In File A I create 20 (arbitrary example) different components that have an icon instance property. File A has access to my Icon library (in another file). So I add all icons as preferred values for my 20 instance props in File A. Now I add some icons to my library and publish the update. Well guess what? Now I have to go through the 20 props in File A to manually add those new icons as preferred value. Imagine this at the scale of a mature international design system. What’s the point of the preferred values feature then?

It would be a great idea to add the ability to move annotations (сhanging the place). Right now, they’re fixed in place and can overlap other elements. And you cannot change it.What I mean is the ability to reposition an annotation freely while keeping the link to the target object intact.Annotations are a really useful feature—thank you! Previously, I had to create similar functionality using my own objects. Please do not move this offer to another discussion. 🙏Can we move the Figma Annotations (in dev mode) from one Figma project to another?These are different questions.

Migrating over to Figma. Literally found a limit within 2 minutes. In Figma, you can’t end a line with an arrowhead on one end, and a circle or dot on the other. Illustrator has been able to do it for 25+ years. Sketch can do it. Even PowerPoint can do it. But Figma can’t? On the Figma dropdown menu, it mixes up caps with ends. Round and Square are caps. Line Arrow and Triangle Arrow are ends (or tips). Nothing else can be done except arrowheads. I make a lot of wireflows, so this seemingly small thing is actually a big annoyance for me. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello folks,I do feel like we need to greatly power up the ways to organize styles specially when it comes to typography, specially thinking in terms of design systems and shared styles. Any improvements there are very welcomed, things like:Personalized order of styles per user ( maybe use AI to offer some help )  Nesting os styles beyond an exposed list, menu style with mouse tunnel and all would still be better in cases of more complex systems. Maybe add the another option like in variables: All, In this files, and than add list the sets for user to pick which one he wants to single out. More power here would be very good.Give us options, and I apologize bring this up but I feel like even Sketch at times gave us an easier to consume approach to this. Also:1-% and ems values for variables. WE BEG. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏2-Component level tie up of component variant name to Mode ( Desktop/Mobile), so we don’t have to sync up a component property value to modes every time we reuse one. Best

Hi Figma team,I'm reaching out with a request on behalf of several developers on our team who use Linux as their primary development environment.Currently, the MCP (Multi-Context Preview) feature is locked behind the Figma desktop app, which is only available for macOS and Windows. This poses a challenge for Linux developers who are unable to access or use MCP due to the lack of a supported desktop app.We’d love to see one of the following: A Linux version of the Figma desktop app to unlock parity across development environments. An alternative way to run an MCP server without the desktop app, such as a standalone CLI or server binary that can be installed independently. This would greatly improve the development experience and make Figma’s workflow more accessible to cross-platform teams.Thanks for considering this request!

Seems you can only add numbers or strings to text layers. It would be great if you could output a color value as text. It’d be really useful for setting up a style guide template that can be updated to different themes.

Hello,At my company, we have an Organization license that allows us to save custom fonts directly in the admin panel.The problem is that my company is a multi-brand company, and its brands change over time.Because of this multi-brand management, the font admin panel is not well adapted to our needs. I need to create folders or categories to separate the different fonts by brand. We currently have more than 50 fonts to manage.When there is a rebranding, we have to remember which fonts and weights are used for each brand, which is very difficult, and delete those ones.Please consider to add folder management, at least 1 level of folder. Thanks  

Hi, I often work with complex components that need to be updated. Some are very complex. I would be very happy to be able to use the "Review updates" window in fullscreen.Or am I the only one? :)Thank you

… not fake elements that look like links. The reason why is because someone posted a link to a Figma file inside a Figma comment, and when I tried to open it in a new tab (making sure I’m holding Cmd in macOS, same as Ctrl in Windows), it just opened in the same tab as the Figma file I’m currently viewing. It’s also impossible to right-click the link and get a link-related context menu. It’s not possible to easily copy the link too. Right now what we get is a regular browser context menu. Worst parts are: The draft comment I wrote was completely lost because of this navigation. There was no warning, and it wasn’t saved to be restored later. The back button doesn’t work. It doesn’t take me back to where I was. It just reloads the linked page, and then the back button is fully disabled. I had to go find the previous location myself manually. PS: On that note: Please also reduce the label of long links to be truncated with ellipsis in the middle (max 2 lines).

Many people have said the same thing, but I’m here to recommend supporting percentages within auto layout. I’ve seen many people asking for the same thing.Percentage width auto layout would help us be more efficient. Auto layout “Fill container” is great for sections being sized equally (50/50 or 30/30/30).When we’re designing content with sections, the sections are generally not the same width as each other to indicate importance.Myself and many other designers would love to have autolayout support something like this:The main container has the same spacing all the way around Each section takes up a specifid percentage of the container (70% and 30%) When the modal grows and shrinks, those sections maintain their width of 70% and 30%  Without spacing With spacing 800px wide     1000px wide      This is what autolayout currently supportsIf we use auto layout, each section must be a specified width or the same width as the other sections.  It makes

Hi! I’m trying to create an “author credit” component to document a design system. The component has a link to the original resource. All text will be set using component properties. Is it possible to create a property so the link URL is filled in the instance instead of using overrides?

With all the new AI features in Figma, the only thing missing is generative expand. If we could reframe or crop images and have the tool generate the additional sections of the image—allowing us to freely change aspect ratios—it would be game-changing and bring Figma closer to becoming the true Photoshop killer.

Having a rolling slide deck always being the source of truth (without the need to create copies) makes it super easy for business use - however we are largely unable to actively work on slide changes in these existing documents because of the risk it’s currently being viewed or presented.Being able to create a hidden branch and merge back into the main document (same as Figma Design) would make handling changes a breeze.

Figma supports enabling/disabling some OpenType features from the UI.https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/4913951097367-Use-OpenType-features From the plugin API I can see which features are being enabled withhttps://www.figma.com/plugin-docs/api/properties/TextNode-opentypefeatures/but the property is read-only. How can I programmatically enable/disable some OpenType features?Also, is there a reason why it’s accessible on UI but not Plugin API?

HiAs a maintainer of our Figma team (not admin tho) I was wondering if there is any possibility to access Figma Make analytics to understand the following:How many Figma Make files have been created? Which designers/teams are creating Make files? How many prompts are being used in which Make file? Thank you

We need a way in the REST API to get a list of Team IDs. A previous post (Suggestion: API endpoint for :team_id) was moved to ‘share an idea’ and then marked as solved, so I’m reposting sans solution, in hopes that we can get some votes. With the new library analytics API, this feels more relevant than ever. I want my users to pick the team their library is in from a list, and then pick the library file from a list of files. Trying to get end users to figure out how to get the library file ID is needlessly complicated to start taking advantage of the new API, when I could set up a system to let them pick it from a list. Almost all of the endpoints require a Team ID… (or require a file ID, the list of which requires a project ID, which requires a Team ID… etc.) So adding a Team API would unlock improved usability for almost every other REST API endpoint. Let’s make it happen.

For User Test Purposes It would be great to have custom IDs for each action a user performs on a prototype. Specially when using external tools that track clicks/links.i.e. if I want to track a click I can do it currently if the user navigated to a different frame that has a individual ID, but that is not possible if for instance the action is to open an overlay.By making it possible to add Trackable IDs to actions it would reduce by a lot the number of artboards needed. Thanks

Dear team,Why is it basically not possible to simply drag and drop a sound file (mp3, wav, etc.) into the platform? This would make things much easier and would also save resources, since audio files require significantly less storage capacity compared to video.As a sound designer, it’s always an extra step for me to convert sounds into video formats—and what starts as a 1MB mp3 quickly turns into a 100MB video. This seems unnecessarily inefficient. On top of that, it doesn’t look very nice to have “empty” videos with just a black screen.Surely there must be a better solution. I’d be happy to support you with my expertise if that would be helpful.Best regards!

Would be awesome to support a Webp file when exporting images like Sketch. (without using any plug-ins)

I wasted an entire hour trying to figure out why the contents of my frame was bleeding out. Why is ‘Clip Content’ off by default? What a confusing UX decision. I don’t understand this change, it makes no sense. I haven’t seen anyone uncheck that box while working in Figma. Or if they do, they do it so rarely that it doesn’t make any sense to change it to off by default.

Hello there, I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides and familiar to some colour. Please help me how to change the guideline colour like black, blue green and any other dark colour
