Auto Variable Mode Not Inheriting Parent Container

Hi everyone. I’m playing around with variables and I’m running into an issue where my components aren’t inheriting the parent mode unless that mode is in the same collection. I’m not sure if this is by design or if it’s a bug. If it’s by design, it doesn’t work very well for large component libraries (I’m trying to keep my backgrounds and elevations in one collection and components in other collections). My modes are all named the same (Light and Dark). Is there something I’m missing? Thanks!
