Is there a way to copy and paste interaction properties within the prototyping panel? I thought I recalled being able to do this at one point, but not anymore.

IE. I want to copy a click interaction, animation, and destination and apply it to another element.

Thank you!

Unfortunately, currently there is no way to do that. However you can select multiple connections and adjust them at the same time. Or when you create a new connection, it usually remembers the previously selected settings.

This is seriously needed. As long as I’m using Figma, I’m making some kind of clickable interactive prototype, I’m in need of this feature.
Another thing that is needed is select multiple elements and assign new interactions (note, ADDING NEW INTERACTIONS, not adjust existing interactions on them!) to all of them together. Doesn’t have to be complicated, just something like this would be fine - in Prototype mode, select a button in one frame and an image in another frame, drag the dot that shows up next to the image, drag it out, the line that indicates interaction shows up with a “2” next to the cursor (indicating that two objects are selected and this interaction will apply to both of them), move cursor onto the destination frame and release, and both the button and the image now have a link to go to the destination frame.


Is there still no way to do this? I notice the last reply to this post is over a year ago, but I still can’t seem to find a way to do this.

Thank you… every time I do this though, it copies the entire component along with it, not just the interaction.

Refer to the GIF again, as well as the attached Help Center article. Once you have selected the desired object, you need to select the interaction in the right panel and copy it.


I found the problem. My interaction is a conditional with multiple if/then/else statements. It will not work with this. I copied a simple click interaction and it worked.
