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).

Who else Googled for solutions but ended up on this page?
It’s been almost 2 years and Figma still hasn’t solved this pain point. hmm…

@Figma_Support pleas note, this issue IS NOT actually resolved

The author of the tred says, that comments should move with nested elements as well, not just with top-level ones

It’s really easy to make this feature, and we all need it, please max out the priority of this one in your backlog

This is still an issue. comment seem to attach to sticky, and then randomly de-attach and half of the board is full or “orphaned” comments that nobody knows what they belong to. Its really annoying.

This has suddenly become an issue for me too. Comments that were once attached inside Figma have detached and appear to float on a surface level. When you first open a file, you see the comments in the correct places but once you zoom, the comment does not respond with zooming through the layers.

Every single time, I have to duplicate the page with comments, open a new page on one monitor, and the old one on another to review comments manually in order to avoid messing up all the comment positions. Then there comes another issue of managing versions. Some projects require working back and forth with clients, multiple rounds of feedback and changes (not even to mention different team members working in the same file). We end up with over 10 versions with comments scattered on each page (because we have to duplicate them), making it hard to track back instead of showing comments in a thread and in the same places.
