How to Apply Multi-Select Types

Multi-select type data can be generated in two formats: one is connecting multiple tags with hyphens, and the other is generating each tag separately.

Prepare Your Data

Naming Your Table Header

Label your column for tags, such as “Tags”. Note, multi-select type values must be connected with commas, like “Warning,Danger,Success”.

Prepare Your Data

Import Data into the Plugin and Create Your Design

Open Table to Figma and import your data. Then switch to the column properties. In Figma, get your layers ready for application. Your preparation should look as shown below:

Step One

Binding Layers

If you want to create long Tags combined with hyphens, name your layers using the format #ColumnName.

If you want to create multiple separate Tags, name your layers using the format #ColumnName(Parent) -> #ColumnName/Text(Child).

Step Two

Select Column Properties

If you want to create long Tags combined with hyphens, set the content to Text format in the plugin’s column properties.

If you want to create multiple separate Tags, set the content to Multi-Layer format in the plugin’s column properties.

Step Three

Generate Results

With your layers selected and the column properties set to “Text”, click the “Generate” button in the Table To Figma plugin to generate tags in the long hyphen-connected Tags format, as shown below:

With your layers selected and the column properties set to “Multi-Layer”, click the “Generate” button in the Table To Figma plugin to generate tags in the multiple Tags format, as shown below:
