Wrestling with yet another gap in basic Figma functionality.
I’ve inherited a design file w/ an extensive set of variables -- lots of tokens, primitives, etc. I just want a single, top-down view of how the variables were organized and their values. Basically what you can see (but can’t print or export) from the current variables table view. Can’t do it, even with plug-ins -- I get variable NAMES but not values if the values are other referenced variables. AND THAT’S WHAT I NEED TO REVIEW!
This should be a basic management feature. Figma is deferring too much basic stuff to plug in developers which puts the onus on users to 1) do additional research into plug-ins and 2) learn the ins/outs of plug-ins of varying quality.
If someone has a solution I haven’t found yet, LMK. In the meantime, thanks for letting me vent.

PS - My current solution is to take screenshots and print them. Cripes.
PPS - Not slamming the plug-in community. Amazing stuff going on there. Thanks! But you’re letting Figma off the hook on a lot of things.
