hi there, I’m getting the following error message when linking a Figma section in Jira under ‘add design’. The error occurs with my new company Figma account and didn’t/doesn’t happen when copying a section from my private Figma account into the same Jira ticket… so I guess the error is coming from Figma.
It’s been daaaaaaaaaaaaays.
I know that I can export as SVG from draw.io and then drag and drop in FigJam but this does not allow me to edit. I would like to import a flowchart from draw.io in an editable format. Thanks.
Hi Figma Support Team, While offboarding from a client project as an external contractor, I attempted to download files that I had been invited to collaborate on via the organization's Figma workspace. I was closing down my workspace tabs as part of my offboarding process. I initiated the export/download process for approximately 20 open files, but the download only successfully completed for 5 files. The majority of files failed to export or were missing entirely from the download archive. Unfortunately, this technical failure placed me in a very difficult situation. The incomplete download has been misinterpreted by the client as an unauthorized mass file transfer, despite the fact that: All files accessed were within my authorized Figma access during my engagement I was carrying out normal offboarding activity And the download itself was incomplete and not representative of the workspace I am raising this issue both to flag a potential problem with Figma's file export or API behavio
Context and Problem Figma's current Instance Swap Override is a useful feature for swapping singular instances within a component. However, it becomes cumbersome and time-consuming when applied to more complex design patterns, such as: Managing dynamic content for cards, sidebars, and templates. Creating unique combinations of content within reusable components. Currently, designers must create a new component for each unique content combination, which leads to bloated libraries, repetitive work, and a loss of efficiency. This approach also lacks flexibility for managing dynamic layouts, which are more naturally represented in code through structures like parent-child relationships in HTML or Children props in React. Proposed Feature: Component "Child" or "Slot" Override Introduce a new override type, referred to as "Child" or "Slot," allowing component creators to define designated areas within a component where users can **drag and drop any content**. This feature would streamline th
Hello, We signed up for a one-year "Design Seat" (Professional Plan) subscription on September 27, 2024. We now want to upgrade to the Organization Plan with a "Full Seat" to access some features we need.During the upgrade process, we noticed that the 12-month charge reflects the full cost of the new Organization Plan, not including the import fee we've already paid for 12 months since September for the current Professional Plan (Still 5 months already paid). Is it possible to reduce the upgrade fee? We'd rather not lose the value of our current subscription just by upgrading to a higher-tier plan, and we can't wait until September to finalize our current annual subscription. PS: We tried to communicate with support and sales 6 days ago and still no response at all to escalate our requirement.
Considering that document.execCommand is deprecated, what would the best way to write to the system clipboard within a custom plugin? Right now, it’s a bit hacky where one can create a temporary HTML UI, set elements like textarea with the intended value to copy, then use document.execCommand. That will likely not be supported in the future, so ideally there’d be a nice and secure way to work with the system clipboard through a Figma API.
Hello dear community, I’ve created a 30-sec prototype in Figma using smart animation. As I’ve seen that there’s no way to export any of that as a piece of JSON file from Figma directly, I had to re-create all those “smart animated” parts manually in Jitter, where I could export it as JSON. The problem began when I realized that Android and iOS couldn’t play those animations because I used SVGs for some graphics. Jitter offered to convert all SVGs to PNGs, and this workaround works only for the same viewport, which is not ideal, to say the least. The ideal solution for me will be to have the ability to export a smart animation from Figma directly in a JSON format. The second ideal solution will be to discover whether there is a motion design tool that supports Figma’s smart animation and is able to export the animation as a JSON format. The third ideal solution will be to discover a motion design tool that a) gives the possibility to re-create manually what I did with the smart animatio
I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them. I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.
I released a plugin over a week ago, but the status still shows it is under review. May I ask where I can check the review progress of the plugin? Or, if there is a problem with the plugin, where can I find out about it?
Hi, I am trying to crete a user journey with 3 different ‘bands’ illustrated in each their own color. The shape is an S-shape. How do I create it? I have tried everything I could come up with. See picture below for example Thanks
When I design a presentation on Figma (as a prototype), I add the correct weight for each font (Regular, Medium, Bold, Italic) - when I present it, some of the texts’ font weight revert to Regular. Does anyone else have a similar issue? Know of any solutions so that the font weight won’t change when running a protoype? Thanks 🙂
This has been an ongoing issue for me for at least a year. I use the Tidy Up hotkey daily but it doesn’t work anymore suddenly. Stuff I tried but still doesn’t work: Testing on browser and desktop Figma Programming the hotkey into my logitech mouse shortcut, in case there was something wrong with my keyboard Checked my laptop’s system preferences to ensure it’s not my keyboard’s issue Tested on an external keyboard
Problem: Designing without a system can get messy fast.You waste time. You repeat work. Your app or website looks different on every page.Without a design system, your project feels slow and confusing. Agitate: Imagine this — you spend hours making a button look right.Then next week, someone else designs a button that looks different. Now the app looks broken.Or worse, the developers don't know what version to code.Everyone is frustrated.You lose time, money, and trust. Solution: Good news: You can fix this by building a simple design system in Figma.Figma makes it easy to create and share design rules with your whole team.Let’s walk through it step-by-step. Step 1: Know What You Need Before opening Figma, stop and think. Ask: Who is this design system for? What will it cover? (Website? Mobile app?) Will it need to grow later? A design system should include: Colors Fonts (text styles) Buttons, forms, cards Icons Rules on how to use everything Write down your plan first. This will help
So, in principle, if an instance is inside of another component, changing the variant causes the text to reset back to the text of the master component. This also happens with other properties of the instance, e.g. if you set some booleans up they will be reset to how they were set in the master component once the variant is changed via variable. Here’s a screenshot of what I mean: and here’s the link to the file to mess around with. (So, this issue might be similar (or even basically the same) as discussed here: Change to on instance not keeping text change but frankly I haven’t had the patience to look into OPs setup 😅 I tried to break the issue down to the most bare-bones that I could in the file I provided (also to see if the issue has anything to do with my components or just is a bug) If anyone has found a workaround do let me know 🙏 (and yes, I do need the instance within another instance; it’s a button inside a form layout that I want to reuse (and many other such cases).
