Variables from an external library added to the file are not showing up when trying to assign them to a value of a local variable

Glad to hear that, @Jeremy_Knudsen!

Please let us know if you run into any further issues.

I’ve the same issue, suddenly variables from the connected library are not showing in design files. Tried to clear the cache, relaunch, even link it to a new test file. Any idea?

Don’t know, if it is the exact same issue, but I ran into a similar issue yesterday:
I have a library with all my text variables, size-xs to size-xxl, line-height-xs to -xxl etc. you get the idea.
I was working on a file, where I had included this library (amongst others), when suddenly all the sizes disappeared when I tried to apply them to a new(!) text element.
The elements I had applied them before still had their variables, but they didn’t show up for new elements. Funny enough, not all text variables vanished, only weight and size. line-height, kerning etc. all were fine.

I managed to get them to work again. Seems like the filtering (only show this var in text context etc.) doesn’t work cross files anymore. Once I manually set them all to appear in all input fields and republished/updated, it worked again.

I had the same issue today, when it would be fixed?

Me and the developers I’m working with have the same issue it seems. I’ve assigned a style to elements, but they as viewers can only see the HEX code. They have access to the color library and can see color styles of the same library for previous elements but not for new.

Any fix for this?

Any news on this?
