It seems like the functionality has changed. In the current version, pasting or importing CSV data generates a table. This isn’t as useful, at least in my case.
Is there a way to convert table cells into sticky notes? Or another way to import data with the original functionality?
I had the exact same problem! Now when I paste in cells from a different spreadsheet, it goes directly into a table, and there doesn’t seem to be a way to convert it to stickies instead (the way they used to paste into Figjam). The same thing happens if you import a CSV.
It would be great if there was an option to decide how you want to paste the data in (whether you’re literally pasting or importing a CSV); as a table or as stickies.
I also cant copy from excel to generate stickies, this has broken how we use figjam as a team for now. There should be an option on how you want to copy the data in, as a table or sticky note.
Help please!
I love using FigJam for affinity diagramming when analyzing data. It was super easy to copy Excel cells and paste them as individual sticky notes.
However, this no longer works. It just pastes a table with text. I tried also using the Create sticky from text plugin, and it also doesn’t help.
I really need this feature. Copying and pasting individual cells is not feasible for my work. I feel absolutely handicapped without this feature. Can you please look into fixing it?
Thanks for the workaround. Agree it’s a cumbersome process.
Unfortunately, it also splits text at every period which doesn’t handle data with more than one sentence, or data without periods. You may get more, or less stickies that you’d want, if you’re not careful.
I guess it should possible to edit the plugin source so it splits on new line, or carriage return instead.
My whole team of research has been using the “paste from excel and turn into post-it” functionality since ever but today it disappeared because you introduced tables!
Now all it does is turn the excel into tables and we don’t want that to happen, because we need to work with single post it in order to do affinity mapping, can you bring back this functionality? Please!
This development surprises me. As a researcher myself, I’m curious if you did user interviews about the feature before making such a change. It’s a critical part of my team’s workflow and has already slowed us down.
