Hi,

Before figma release import/export variables feature, I often use Design Token manager plugin to work with my variables. Today, I can't import json back to figma because the format is different, instead I use figma native feature, which is so so much problematic. 
If I have 2 ways alias, it require the alias collection already imported in the app, therefore my variables is broken (not completed)
If i have outside figma system variables, I can’t import too. Figma trying to lock user in it’s own system, and feature is half baked release.
Anyone try different methods/ plugins so you can import your into figma?
