Link textboxes in Figma

So If text overflows from one, it can show up in another textbox. This would be useful for two-column/grid composition and responsive layouts.

I tried this but didn’t work for me: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1020700094489447475/Text-to-Columns

If you try it and it works, let me know how you did it :slight_smile:

People mentioning this is more of a print design thing. It’s also somewhat similar to how CSS columns work. Very much a user interface design thing as well. Whether its a means to thread text through frames or a frame setting to have text responsively flow through columns in that frame, would love to see some kind of feature for threaded/flowing text.

Dear Figma. It is 2023 already. Please catch up on this feature, and we might not need any other design tool anymore.
