SOLVED: Variable Mode not working

Just thought I’d share for posterity as this almost drove me insane! I’d set up basic light / dark color modes and variables, which worked almost everywhere except for a few frames. It turns out i’d copied some assets from another project, and the appearance tab had exposed the variable modes for them, rather than the ones in the current file. The solution was to go the longer way through [blue] to the variable mode.

Thank you for the post. I am missing the “Apply variable” setting in that Appearance section on some frames and components on a given design system page. 

Any clues on how to make it available?Â
