Layers with ‘Resizing’ set to ‘Fill Container’ automatically gets set to ‘Left’ when nested inside a new frame. Annoying because the expected behaviour is for the layer to act the same (or similar) in the new Frame. Especially if the intention is to convert that frame into auto-layout.
When adding auto-layout to the parent Frame, the nested layers then have ‘Fixed Width’, which is very frustrating, since I have to go inside the new Frame and change these layers back to ‘Fill Container’. It’s a lot of double-work, constantly.
- Select one or more layers that have their resizing set to ‘Fill Container’.
- ‘Command + Option + G’ to create a new Frame with these layers nested inside.
- Add auto-layout to the Frame.
- Select the nested layers, which have been reset to ‘Fixed Width’ and change them back to ‘Fill Container’.
I suggest Figma should set layers that had ‘Fill Container’ to ‘Left Right’ when they are added to a Group or Frame that doesn’t have auto-layout. Then, when adding auto-layout to that parent Frame, it should set those layers (that have ‘Left Right’ resizing) to ‘Fill Container’.
Or is there an existing workaround?
