I have a problem with creating an auto layout layer with other auto layouts. Apparently, Figma sees that an auto layout has already been created, but it doesn’t exist. When I remove this auto layout, Figma converts these layers to frames. I don’t know what to do. I tried creating every element from scratch and the problem it’s still the same.

Hey @Karolina_Gd, sorry to hear you’re having trouble!
I tried to recreate what you’re describing, but I’m not sure what you mean by “Figma sees that an auto layout has already been created, but it doesn’t exist.”
Here’s an example Frame with auto-layout that has 2 other layers within it:
And here’s how my layers panel looks like:
The iPhone Frame has auto layout applied for a Vertical layout, Align top left as well as the two frames nested inside it, as indicated by the icons on the left of each layer’s name.
Are you able to share your file or a screenshot of your layers panel and canvas? If you are able to share a link to your file, please share it with support-share@figma.com, so that we here in the community can take a closer look at what’s happening.
