Option to duplicate/copy styles, not just cut them

If there is an option to duplicate the Text Styles / Color Styles folder then it makes it easy when creating design systems. Attached is a screenshot of the idea.

This would be a great feature. In the mean time, here you have a work around:

  1. Put all the styles you want to copy into a folder and then cut those from your file.
  2. Undo the cut, so you don’t lose the original styles.
  3. Go to a new file and paste them.
  4. Create a text layer and apply any of the pasted styles, so Figma allows you to rename the wrapping folders.
  5. Rename the wrapping folder and any other folders you want to duplicate.
  6. Cut them again and paste them in the original file.
  7. Rearrange and delete wrapping folder, if required.

Hope that was helpful. Take care! 😊

is there any plugin for renaming the layers based on color palette naming?

I use the tip from @Adrian25 and the Batch Styler Plugin to quickly rename or change the styles:

if there is a plugin available that can automatically rename layers based on their corresponding color palette names?
