Set Default Text Properties

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.
