What name are you trying to create the variable with? Does it contain special characters?


William_Deng

Im not able to enter a name. I just click “Run” on the plugin and I get this error.

Do your style names contain the special characters mentioned above?


William_Deng

Yes I’m in Fintech so we use $ a lot.

I replaced these with USD and it works.

thank you @tank666

PS Do you know how we might contribute and add some docs to this plugin? Its very useful but the UX is poor. For example I didn’t know it had worked so I kept trying it. It turns out now I have 15 collections of tokens. All we needed was a success notification.

It looks like you used the sample plugin from here: plugin-samples/styles-to-variables at master · figma/plugin-samples · GitHub

Create a new issue (bugs, ideas) in this repository for the creators to consider.

Is there another one/better one?

Do you mean plugin? I don’t know. I suggest you look for a plugin that suits your requirements in Figma Community.

This was the best plugin I think for converting styles to variables
