Option to duplicate/copy styles, not just cut them

Beware of that workaround if you already have published styles. It has broken a lot of my applied styles in other files (swapping them for the duplicate)

Even better if we have styles/design tokens code editor.

There is a workaround that actually works:
1- Cut the styles you want duplicate
2- Undo so you have your styles back (now the styles and folder structure are copied to your clipboard)
3- Paste the copied styles into a new Figma file then save the file
4- Close both files
5- Open both files again
6- Now you can edit the styles in the new file then cut and paste them into the original file
7- DONE!

Absolutely need this feature.

This would be great. The suggested place in the UX is perfect as well. Lot’s of space there.

you the man Adrian! thx 🫶

The following is even simpler:

1. Duplicate the file
2. Rename the styles in the duplicate file
3. Cut styles from duplicate file and paste in the original file
4. Delete duplicate file

There must be some insanely complicated technical reason for not being able to copy or duplicate a style inside Figma.

I use Design System Organizer plugin for the purpose.

Yet another important feature that Figma has left unattended.

It is a basic necessity, add a duplicate button and it will save us so much time.
