While this feature was reported by Elaine Chao as done: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/14893407-select-multiple-items-across-different-groups

The problem: Neither multi selenction nor shortcuts such as Shift+Click, Cmd+Click work while the list elements filtered.


Use case: In this example i as a Designer have an imported sketch fiile, i wanted to migrate to XD (good luck with that), and need to select all the redundant elements in the list with the names Cut 1, Cut 2 ... across different groups.
I open the layer list and filter for "cut", get the list of more than a 3000 of them and unable to multiselect. I can only select / delete them one at a time. Filtering the list of layers does not suppose to break the multiselect functionality.

This means that the above feature is not complete yet.

Hi there,

 

Sorry to hear about the trouble. We have received similar feedback on our UserVoice, so I will share your feedback with the Engineering team and you can do that too by upvoting this request: https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/39635563-multi-select-in-searched-filtered-layer-list

 

This is the best way of communicating with the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases.

Dear Rishabh,

Thank you for your swift response and forwarding the issue to the engineering team!

  1. Since XD Uservoice has now disabled the functionality neded to mark a request as a bug, but rather after some point allows only feature requests i was looking for a way to specifically report an issue and found this post, where employee is pointing out, that this is a proper place to report issues and bugs: 
    https://community.adobe.com/t5/adobe-xd/where-to-report-a-bug-for-xd/td-p/10753664?page=1
  2. The Uservoice topic
    https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/39635563-multi-select-in-searched-filtered-layer-list. which i have upvoted in the first place, was created almost a year ago in February 2020. Since it was not marked as "in review", answered, labled as "needing more information" or receive any interaction from engineering/PM team, most likely while it's formulated as a feature request and not as it should be - a bug/underimplementation. The author was probably not aware of the closed feature https://adobexd.uservoice.com/forums/353007-adobe-xd-feature-requests/suggestions/14893407-select-multiple-items-across-different-groups which was supposed to solve the very same use case, when they have created the feature request.

    Regards
