Is it not possible to set a text variable to an empty string?

I can set it to ’ ’ (a space), or any string with text in it, but nothing happens if the value I give it is ‘’.

I think I was setting it to null instead of ‘’. Setting it to ‘’ worked.

const collection = figma.variables.createVariableCollection('New collection'),
    modeId = collection.defaultModeId,
    variable = figma.variables.createVariable('New string variable', collection, 'STRING');

variable.setValueForMode(modeId, '');

This code will create a new collection with a variable with an empty value.
