Keep Comments pinned to design elements (including nested)

When i move my design elements/frames/etc., I expect all the pinned comments to move with them – but they don’t. instead i’m left with a bunch of floating comments (that are not attached to anything), which requires me to manually re-read each comment and move it again to its correct place. this is frustrating and time consuming. but what’s worse is when another user forgets to move the comments after they move the design elements, so when i return to the Figma file it’s very difficult to decipher the floating comments because they are not pinned to anything so i have no idea what they’re referring to. please keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments).

Bumping this. Also give us the ability to keep comments when duplicating a Figma project.

PLEASE Figma team, allow comments to be pinned to elements inside of autolayout. Seems like such an obvious and basic thing, I don’t understand why this isn’t a thing yet.

I have a whole team commenting on a bunch of designs that are constantly moving inside an autolayout, the comments get completely lost and we waste a lot of time trying to clean it up.

Pretty please? 😪

Same, I keep having to duplicate designs to iterate on them because, if I move things around, the comments I previously received on said designs will all get shifted.

Same here. Please add this feature - it’s an absolute MUST.

Don’t understand this feature is not already there?

Hi Figma Team, could we pleaseeeee get a feature to pin comments directly to elements? Right now, when an element is moved, the comment stays behind and floats in place, making it really hard to track what it originally referred to. :)
