Unable to apply aliased variable to height of a component

As the bug topic states, I’m unable to apply a variable that is aliased and has multiple modes.

I am able to apply a global variable, with no alias and no modes - but that doesn’t help me with theming between different modes where the component has a different height depending on the brand. Can anyone help me troubleshoot this, or submit this as a bug to the appropriate team?

Below is the screenshot of the variable that I’m attempting to apply, and no - it does not have scoping attached that may prevent it from being applied to the height of the component.

Below, is the screengrab of trying to apply the variable to the component. It does not appear in the search and I have confirmed that the token has been published.

As you can see, I am able to apply a global token - which is not entirely helpful as it doesn’t do much in regards to theming.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching out. If this is the scope setting for the aliased variable that you want to apply, I think you need to check “Width and height property”.

If the issue persists, could you reach out directly to the support team with a copy of your file: https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new? Our support team will look into it.

Please make sure you use the email associated with your Figma account, include links to the file in question, and share access with support-share@figma.com. Don’t worry, inviting us to view your file won’t impact your billing.

Thanks,
Toku

Hi there,

Yes I tried the Width and Height scope as well, and it had no effect. I will submit a support ticket for the issue. Thanks!
