I’ve been using this plugin for quite some time to import JSON translation packages into Figma variables and it works great. What I did was to convert the structured JSON into Flat JSON with “/” delimiter (as the figma variables support), then import the flattened JSON using the plugin into my figma variables. resulting in a structured figma variables

result

 



For some reason recently Figma variables unable to import all the text in the JSON files, sometimes some lines are missing, sometimes it does not import anything at all JSON structure is the same, the process still the same.

I did some testing that importing the JSON straight to figma variables (still structured json) works, figma then replaces the delimiter to “_”

The only caveat is that i need to edit the variables manually to make it structured like in the first picture, which can be troublesome if there are hundreds of string variables

What went wrong? what can i do to fix this issue?
