Vertical alignment of text in shapes

I’m surprised that after three years, FigJam still doesn’t support vertical text alignment in shapes. This has been a longstanding request (as evidenced by this older forum thread), and it’s a must-have for creating clean and professional-looking diagrams. Being able to align text to the top, center, or bottom of a shape is a standard feature in most design and diagram tools, and its absence in FigJam makes it harder to organize content quickly and consistently.

 

Please consider adding vertical text alignment options to improve productivity and the overall user experience in FigJam.

That would make me very happy indeed. I can sort of work around it by adding Text into a shape or section, but since they won’t scale together it’s quite annoying. Please consider these requests @Figma.

@FigmaTeam please can this feature be introduced. It is a table stake. Really frustrating having to use labels. It slows down the ability to collaborate.

Longtime poweruser of Miro and Lucidchart here, so rather surprised to try out an established competitor and see small little quirks and limitations like this. Certainly a deciding factor for folks like myself when deciding if to switch over or not.

Not allowing users to control how text is anchored within a shape is a huge limitation. Makes nesting shapes totally impractical.
