krisxsee-

In 2023 there were introduced some new variables for fields. After the UI2 or UI3 redesign they simply missed. the right-click panel doesn’t show any variables. I cannot find a way to add them for:

  • Opacity layer
  • Storke weight
  • Layout/Transformation properties

I would say for all fields in the right sidebar. However in any pop up window like for effects they’re available through the icon.

Hi ​@krisxsee-, thanks for reaching out! 

I completely understand your confusion. It sounds like you’re not on the latest version of Figma with our new left navigation bar. ​​​The entry point for Variables have moved to the left navigation bar. Look for the Variables icon as shown below. 👇🏽
