Follow along with the playlist: • My First Variable

One of the biggest issues since launching variables in Figma is, that there is no way to copy/move existing variables in groups into other existing collections. And the community is "screaming" for that "feature" since June 2023.

That's really the key.

I've been using a couple plugins for that, but it would be really useful to have it as a figma tool already

[@danny76363]

@@liahanae Can you share the name of these plugin? Much appreciated!

I really appreciate the effort Figma is putting into this, but for now it is years behind Tokens Studio in terms of typography unfortunately. I believe that the experience we have today is far from being ideal for building text styles :/
In addition to this, we desperately need a way to be able to use percentage values ​​%, both for text attributes and elements width!

[@floripa1987]

Cmom figma we need set lineheight in percent and u know it

I really like variable typography we know this is complex but this is a game changer for making responsive and adaptable designs across the platform

Great video! Hope you see this comment and other will like it if it’s true. Could your team fix the slow Figma performance, please! After release the performance and speed of work with components that use font variables was significantly dropped. I know you working on improvements, hope it will be sooner. Thank you in advance!

Great video, but you guys keep skipping the demo of character spacing/tracking variables - only allow px as variable at the moment and variable scoping is not working for text also 😴
