LAUNCHED: Generate sticky notes from table data

I’d love the ability to do a bulk creation for sticky notes similar to how I can do it in Miro.

I go into bulk mode and can just type and hit enter to create a new sticky note in the sequence to allow for very natural rapid data capture or brainstorming without having to click to create every note (which slows things down a lot.)

Once I’m done, I can either use the keyboard shortcut or just click a “Done” button and all of my sticky notes get created and placed onto the jam board so I can rearrange them as needed.

I can’t do this in FigJam and it’s very frustrating.

Found this earlier answer for bulk import from a CSV or Google Sheet: https://forum.figma.com/t/bulk-add-post-it-notes-function/2925/9

I’m looking for a way to generate sticky notes from data. There’s a video posted in this closed thread, Bulk add post-it notes function. Referencing this YouTube video.

It seems like the functionality has changed. In the current version, pasting or importing CSV data generates a table. This isn’t as useful, at least in my case.

Is there a way to convert table cells into sticky notes? Or another way to import data with the original functionality?

I had the exact same problem! Now when I paste in cells from a different spreadsheet, it goes directly into a table, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to convert it to stickies instead (the way they used to paste into FigJam). The same thing happens if you import a CSV.

It would be great if there was an option to decide how you want to paste the data in (whether you’re literally pasting or importing a CSV); as a table or as stickies.

Looks like this has also changed the way .csv import works. I can’t generate sticky notes from data files any more 😦

Is there a work around? I wanted to generate sticky notes from a csv full of user data.

I also cant copy from excel to generate stickies, this has broken how we use FigJam as a team for now. There should be an option on how you want to copy the data in, as a table or sticky note.

We’re also facing this issue.

My whole team of research has been using the “paste from excel and turn into post-it” functionality since ever but today it disappeared because you introduced tables!
Now all it does is turn the excel into tables and we don’t want that to happen, because we need to work with single post it in order to do affinity mapping, can you bring back this functionality? Please! 😨

My team uses/prefers the sticky notes too. Currently copy/pasting the table data into stickies smh 😂 I hope they make a work around soon!

I am experiencing the same issue. Please bring the CSV import to sticky notes back!
