It would be awesome if we could set properties like font, size, alignment so everytime we start a textbox it would have all the properties already set.
This exists and works with shapes for example, but the text ends up overridden by the last textbox you edited.
Is there a way to workaround this or should it be a possible new feature?
Thanks
Yup. Same problem here. Looks like “set default” isn’t actually setting the default. It would be nice if Figma disabled it for fonts. Or maybe when a type frame is selected, have the menu change to “set default color” which seems to work?
It does seem to work now for font family and alignment, but still not for font color.
Same issue here. Wish this worked!
Same, Set default properties not working at all for me.
Same, selecting a textbox, setting the text color to a variable, then, with the textbox still selected choosing Edit > Set Default Properties. Figma then says “Default Properties Set”, but the next time I use the text tool to create a new textbox, the text defaults back to #000000.
This is very frustrating!
@Figma - any chance of a fix to this obvious bug? I’ve been seeing these reports for over a year now...
