What’s going on?
Figma UI has updated today and I can no longer access my variable library to apply values to things like padding or radius. Existing components are fine - menu still appears - but new items only have manual controls. That’s really annoying. Is it a bug?

Variable library missing in latest UI update (padding, radius)
Oh and you can only HIDE a background colour if you detach it from the library. Otherwise you must delete it.
Hi,
Thanks for your post; I can see why this would be annoying for you. Are you seeing this all within the same file, or are the new layers within a new file? I did a quick test in an existing file and this is what I found:
- Initially, when I moused over the radius field I did not see the icon to apply a variable.
- I clicked on the canvas, I then clicked on the configure button for Variables on the right panel.
- I added a variable with the type of number.
- I clicked on the new layer and then saw the option to apply a variable when mousing over the radius field.
If you’re in a new file and haven’t created any variables yet, then this makes sense why you wouldn’t see the option. However, let me know if this is in a file with existing variables.
Regarding background colours, you’re referring to a component instance where the background of a layer is a variable?
