I’ve just applied variables to all our project’s text styles.

It all works as expected.


However, in inspect mode, font weight it still displayed as normal css value and not with css-variable.


See screenshots.


Is this a bug or me messing up things?






Devs need to know what token to use, otherwise they may hard-code the value which may not be the same between modes. How do we request this be fixed?

This is the main concern I have when working with variables, and it goes against proposed specs for design tokens in the industry. This is Figma making an implementation judgment on behalf of an organization rather than allowing for an organization to define the Tokens/Variables that work for them. 

Additionally, focusing only on CSS implementation here leaves out other platforms that are represented elsewhere in Dev Mode.
