I’ve been cleaning up my tokens and recently found somethings not working correctly. When I create an alias link from a component token to a semantic, the DM only show the LM color, not the DM color from the semantic token. 

this is the semantic token i’m linking to.

This is the component token pointing to the semantic token

You can see the component’s DM isn’t displaying correctly, it’s displaying the LM color. But the components themselves are displaying correctly.

Could you also post a screenshot with annotations that show which variables your button component and its nested layers are using?
