Hello community,


I am currently using Figma’s variable feature to design different mode products in project. However, I have encountered some issues when switching between different modes.


The specific problems are as follows:


Components not applying correctly:

When switching modes, many components do not correctly apply the respective variable, resulting in inconsistent designs across different modes.


Mode conflicts:

There are frequent mode conflicts when switching between different modes, leading to design errors or incomplete displays.


These issues significantly impact my workflow and experience and could not figure out whats the problem. And the error message shows up is not helpful what is going on?


Hope some could help for it

Below is the screenshot of the error handling
