I’m trying to switch the fill color of certain elements that have assigned color variables. Normally you can just click on the applied color variable and it will pull up your library and you can switch it. But when I click on it now it doesn't do anything and I can’t switch it that way anymore. I’ve tried quitting/reopening Figma and the file itself, and restarted my computer, but it hasn’t helped. Was wondering if you could help?
Question
Changing a Color Variable
Hello
I've tested it on my end, but haven't been able to reproduce the issue. Could you check a few things for us?
- Is this happening in the Desktop app, or in supported browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, or both?
- Does it occur with all files or just a specific one?
- Would clearing the app or browser cache help resolve the issue? :Clear the Figma desktop app cache
If you've cleared the cache and the issue persists, please kindly submit a ticket through this link: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001744374
When you submit please include:
- The email address associated with your Figma account.
- A description of what occurred when you followed the troubleshooting steps above.
- If a certain file is causing the issue, share its URL and add support-share@figma.com as an editor (this will not affect your billing).
- A video capture of the issue, ensuring the entire Figma screen is visible
Thank you for your cooperation!
Hi!
I use the desktop version for Mac, and it’s still not working. I cleared the cache and tried on other files and the problem still persists. I appreciate your response and will submit a ticket.
