Using variables has significantly improved workflow efficiency and collaboration with developers. However, I’ve encountered some issues while using them, and I’d like to provide some feedback:



  1. When deleting variables from a library that you’re importing, on the component level, it doesn’t always recognize the deleted variables and displays them as ‘used.’ It appears to be a common issue, as reported in various forums.

  2. When applying a variable to a child ‘control’ element and then applying another to the parent element, there should be some feedback or alert suggesting that a variable is already applied to the parent. Without such feedback, manual investigation is required to ensure that there are no variables applied at the child level that may be preventing the parent variable from updating.
