Keep comments pinned to specific nested elements (AUTOLAYOUT included)

[Delia_Tomei_Villadsen]

Currently using sections with various huge component sets that have autolayout. When i shift position of the elements within the autolayout frame, the comments that i pinned on the nested frame don’t follow the element i shifted. We need to be able to pin to specific elements and not just top level frames, and need the comments to truly stay pinned. I am getting trust issues from this one.

Someone else has mentioned this here

Keep Comments pinned to design elements (so moving design elements automatically moves comments)

Still need better control with comments. Option to pin to a specific element. If deleting that element pin to the parent or convert to floating. I’d be fine with needing to manually re-pin a comment if I delete the element. But moving things around and chasing down comments is such a time hole! Working with a team spread across time zones and comments are so important for communication.

That thread is marked as resolved but it really isn’t!

Pin comments to any frame regardless if its nested or not

ISSUE: A big issue at pretty much all of the jobs I’ve had that rely on the comment functionality in Figma is that comments are only able to be pinned to the top frame and not any nested frames within it. In order to organize our flows within each page we use frames to nest our flows in. So with Figma’s current functionality of only allowing a comment to be pinned to the top most frame none of the comments move with their respective frame. REQUEST Figma, please build functionality that allows c…

This is actually part of a bigger issue of how we relate to comments in general
which i stated here. It is not one or the other.

Comments stick to object instead of position on layout

I think the use cases vary. I would actually appreciate being able to pick between pinning a comment to an item vs adding a general comment vs a comment placed at a certain position in the frame.
