Detecting auto spacing using the plugin API

Liamco

Is it possible to detect if a nodes itemSpacing property is set to AUTO in the Figma UI? Currently, reading the itemSpacing property of a node passes back the number the layout would adopt if auto was turned off (e.g. for the node selected in the attached screenshot, the API would return itemSpacing:271)

Screenshot 2023-10-19 at 11.35.03

I can’t see anything about AUTO spacing in the API documentation. Is this just not supported?
