in the light mode, the text has a fill: brand/default/text-brand with green color. dark mode is the same variable with different value - white.

when I apply dark variable mode to the button, the text fill does not change

even though the dropdown shows that if I select it, it should be white.

the variables are in a separate library file, where everything works as intended:

Hi there,

I tested it with a simple frame on my end, and it seems to be working fine.

Could you provide a bit more detail about the issue you’re experiencing? A video recording would be really helpful.

Thanks,
Toku

Hey there, thanks for the reply.

Here are the recordings. Basically, the design file has a library added, and the library has everything set up properly, but the mode does not change the text color, even though in the dropdown it clearly shows that it should be a different one. after selecting it, it changes to proper color.
