Fill Selected

Fill Selected applies values from selected datatypes to the currently selected text layers in Figma.

How Fill Selected works

Select one or more text layers in Figma
Select one or more datatypes in DataTyper
Click Fill selected

DataTyper assigns values to layers in order.

Cyclic value assignment

If there are more layers than values:

Values are reused cyclically
Filling continues until all selected layers are filled

This ensures that filling always completes, even with limited data.

Multi-Datatype Fill

Multi-datatype fill allows you to use values from multiple datatypes in a single fill operation.

How multi-datatype fill works

Select multiple datatypes using checkboxes
Select text layers in Figma
Click Fill selected

Values from all selected datatypes are combined into a single sequence.

Typical use cases

Multi-datatype fill is useful when:

Filling mixed content layouts
Combining names, titles, and descriptions
Creating varied mock content quickly

The combined values follow the same sorting and randomization rules as single-datatype fills.

Sorting

Sorting controls the order in which values are applied during filling.

Available sorting options

DataTyper provides the following sorting modes:

Default — original order of values
Min to Max — ascending order
Max to Min — descending order

Sorting affects only the filling order and does not modify stored values.

When to use sorting

Sorting is useful when:

Filling ordered lists
Applying numeric or alphabetical sequences
Ensuring predictable content placement

Randomize

Randomize applies values in a random order when filling designs.

How randomization works

When randomization is enabled:

Values are shuffled before filling
Each fill operation produces a different order

Stored values remain unchanged.

When to use randomization

Randomization is useful for:

Generating realistic mock data
Avoiding repetitive patterns
Creating variation in layouts
