I loved this new slot in figma, but you guys could allow copy and paste inside, the only thing i can do is place a fragment and replace, which makes no sense, maybe it’s a bug I don’t know… but it should. Also what a damn good feature.

Copy and paste works, but only after a second instances is inserted via the slot menu UI.

This is annoying, especially with the fill settings being ignored on the inserted instance. Currently, this works like so:

  1. Insert an instance into the slot via the slot menu UI
  2. Change the fill settings
  3. Attempt to copy/paste the instance (doesn’t work and is instead placed on top of the component)
  4. Go back to the menu and insert another instance
  5. Change the fill settings (again)
  6. Copy paste as your heart desires
