A way to assign a variable to the list spacing type setting

Currently in text styles, we can assign variables to nearly all values except for list spacing, is there a reason for this?

Thanks for the feedback! I don’t have the answer for this, so I’ll pass this along to our product team for future enhancements.

Thanks again,

Why is there no option to set a variable for the list spacing?

Why, oh, why?

I thought that was because this value does not generate a proper CSS, but paragraph spacing does not either, and it has variable support. That is awkward for sure.

+1 to this idea, it’s weird how we can’t set variables for list spacing, but we can do so with paragraph spacing.

Only paragraph spacing has the capability to support variables, but not List spacing

This seems like a no-brainer? Quite frustrating

Exactly! Paragraph spacing is a classic spacing variable in code.
Just like LIST SPACING is. So it would bridge the gap between design and code to add this.
Plus make it more scalable, usable and make it easier to create consistent design systems if we can use variables here! :D
