I’m a frequent user of the copy properties action and this update has broken it it major way IMO. Say I copy an element that has a backgroundPrimary variable for its fill, pasting the properties onto another object will break that reference and the pasted object is using hex codes now. I’d assume this is a bug and hopefully not the intended behavior because it renders the paste properties action useless if you’re using the new variables/tokens system.
same thing.
I cannot use variables with this problem. it’s very frustrating(
Hoping for a quick fix, this is quite time consuming
It sounds like a must-have to me too. Otherwise, I wouldn’t make the move to variable as it’s too time consuming at the moment.
Saw and cried…
Looking forward to update.
