Issue with paring Figma text element to key in Tolgee

[FilipObornik]

Mapped keys disappear immediately after linking (self-hosted instance)

Description

When attempting to map a Figma Text element to a Tolgee key, the key appears as mapped for approximately 1 second and then disappears. This happens both when:

• Using the Link icon to select a key from the list
• Manually entering the key name

One translation text element was successfully mapped initially and continues to work correctly (bidirectional sync between Tolgee and Figma works as expected). However, I am unable to add any additional key mappings.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Select a Text element in Figma
2. Click the "Link" icon in the Tolgee plugin
3. Select a key from the list (or manually enter a key name)
4. Key briefly appears as connected (~1 second)
5. Key mapping disappears

Expected Behavior

The key should remain linked to the Text element and persist after selection.

Actual Behavior

The key connection is lost immediately after being established. The link icon returns to its unconnected state.

Environment

Component	Version/Details
Tolgee	Self-hosted via Coolify (version not visible in admin panel)
Figma	Mac Desktop app v126.0.4
OS	macOS

What I've Tried

• Restarted Figma
• Reconnected the plugin (re-entered API key and URL)
• Manually entering key names instead of selecting from list
• Tested in Figma web version (same issue)

Additional Context

• One existing key mapping continues to work perfectly, suggesting the plugin/API connection is functional
• API key has translations.edit and translations.view scopes

Hi @FilipObornik
My team and I faced a similar problem. I tried to restore the previous version, which was 3 weeks ago, and there is no problem there. I made a fix for the current version of the project using neural network and left it in my repository. Can you check if it's working for you so that I can create a pull request?

@eweren Hello,are you checked that?

[eweren]

Hey @mir-dvlp sorry I got stucked with other things.
I looked into your code and don't see any issues with that. I just created a PR and will take a look if any test fails and merge it afterwards. Thank you for your contribution :)

@mir-dvlp Can you address the issues coderabbit commented in the pr? That would be great :)

@mir-dvlp @FilipObornik sorry for the delay, but the newest version of the figma plugin now includes the fixes. Hope it is resolved then. If not, feel free to ask to reopen the issue again
