Restore the ability to input percentage values in the size field

Hi everyone,

I’m requesting the restoration of a feature that used to allow entering percentage values directly in the size fields (width/height) of elements in Figma. This was super useful for responsive design and scaling elements efficiently. Unfortunately, this feature seems to have been removed, and now we can only input pixel values.

Here’s a quick breakdown:

  • Before, you could simply enter something like “50%” into the size field (which is especially handy for things like infographics), and the element would resize accordingly.
  • Now, only pixel values are accepted, which slows down the workflow when working with dynamic or flexible layouts.

Does anyone else miss this feature? If so, let’s get this noticed by the Figma team and hopefully bring it back!
