No variables available

From this morning I’ve been unable to use variables, here’s what happens:

  1. On first load/reload of page
  2. Select Gap Dropdown
  3. Select Apply variable
  4. Variable list appears briefly then updates to “No variables available”

It’s not happening with Colors and is the case on every file I’ve worked on this morning.

All my variables should be available. Non are marked as “Hidden from publishing” and the scope is set to Gap.

    We’re experiencing the same issue on our end. It’s also affecting the Variables panel when we try to update variable values, it shows “No variable found.”

    We’ve already raised a support ticket for this (#1771100).

    Is anyone else facing the same problem, or has found a workaround?

      Hey ​@Probin Johori , , sorry to hear you’re running into trouble with Variables as well.

      I’ve checked Emma’s case on our end and can confirm it’s been resolved. Our team has pushed a fix for this issue. Could you please refresh Figma and give it another try?

      If you’re still seeing the problem after refreshing, please follow up on your existing support ticket so our Technical Quality team can take a closer look at it. They’ll be best equipped to investigate your case directly.

      ​@Celine_ hi! Our team has been experiencing the same issue since Friday. I’ve already reported it, but we haven’t received any updates.

      Can you please assist us? We’ve restarted our laptops and refreshed Figma, but nothing has resolved the issue.
