Hi everyone,
We’ve started working on multiple fills and borders, with plans to extend to this multiple shadows in the future.
Best,
Dan

More than 5 years since requested, took 3 years to get "feature-started", 2 years since then and still not done!
And I don't blame them. I mean since everyone is paying for "All Apps" subscription anyways they don't care if you stopped using 1 or 5 of the apps. They still get paid in full! Just pure brilliance! -

This is a good start - please prioritize. As you can see below, people are moving to Figma because they're already doing this.
The obvious use case is complex shadows to match the level of quality of Material Design elevation. This is also great when you need a semi-transparent fill on top of a base fill to indicate a state change without adding a second layer. Multiple strokes can emulate some custom focus states / focus rings.
This should add a fairly decent performance boost and make my layer tree easier to navigate by reducing the need for additional layers.

Come on Adobe, this is a really basic feature that is sorely needed. My organization might be switching to Figma soon if things like this aren't implemented. Especially since it's been in the works for over 2 years!

This can be easily done in Figma, this would be a great addition to XD.

I cannot believe nothing has been released on this since the update message in July 2019.. 😭 I have convinced multiple clients to switch to XD since the very first days in 2016 because of the tie-in to Adobe systems, so many other great features, the performance, and the ease of use. I even get colleagues (dev and design) to vote on user voice. I am having a harder and harder time to sell the 'user-focused' approach, if simple styling features like this one (supported by so many other Adobe products) stay in 'feature started' for years on end.

How does it take Adobe over a year to implement something that they already do in a lot of their other apps? Doesn't "feature started" mean that you've actually started working on it? I definitely understand that development takes time, but if it's taking this long I start to doubt the ability of your team, or the meaning of the label "feature started". Please be honest with us, if you had to put it on hold, tell us so we aren't anxiously waiting for a feature that you're not working on.

Ability to add multiple drop shadows to a single element or item. Today a designer needs to add an additional layer behind an item to create multiple drop shadows. This gets messy, complicated, and become time-consuming when making changes.

Photoshop and Sketch has this ability to add multiple drop shadows to a single layer, It would be great if this option comes to XD as well.

Yes, please add this soon. And please improve the SVG exporting. Skeuomorphic or "soft UI" shadows built in XD and shadows imported from Illustrator including long shadows using the blend filter are not exporting correctly through Zeplin. It's a blocker on design/sprints.
