Hi everyone, I’m having a problem and could really use some help.
Background:
I’m working in a large Figma file — it's overloaded with information, and Figma keeps suggesting that I should offload the file. I’m using Variables extensively (light/dark theme).
Here’s the issue:
When I export components to another file (as a Figma Library), all components, colors, etc., are transferred. BUT the most important part — Variables — are not.
If I create Variables manually or transfer them using a plugin, the system doesn't recognize or link them. It treats them as completely separate, unlinked variables.
The situation:
I transferred a component via the Figma Library into another file. All the colors were exported, but not the Variables. Then I exported Variables via a plugin and tried to update a color inside the component — but the system doesn’t recognize the Variables at all. It's like they are totally disconnected.
Please help — I really need to fix this.
