How is it possible that this isn’t a feature yet? Are people not using variables enough? 😭

This feature is urgent! Please prioritize its delivery.

Currently, variables can be searched via the Design Panel, but only for selection – there is no way to edit them from there.

If implementing full editing functionality is too complex (which I don’t believe it is), please at least add an option to edit a variable directly from the filtered results in the Design Panel.

 


Otherwise, finding the variable I need to edit becomes nearly impossible.

It seems like a very simple feature that would bring a lot of value, and almost 2 years have passed since users started to ask for it. Please, Figma, prioritize it finally...

hi Figma! 

I currently have 653 variables in 1 of my collections. I mean the figpals are great, love them, but this search functionality would really help my workflow! 🙏🏻

Request to add a search feature to the variables panel. I am using it quite extensively and getting to the right variables is a bit cumbersome at the moment. Since the naming of variables usually is built around a convention then a search feature here would be very effective.

See the top right corner of the screenshot below.

It would ideally have an autocomplete/live search functionality. This might already be in the works, but it wasn’t in the “coming soon” section of the Beta Features page. This isn’t really a feature anyway, but I thought I’d put it on the radar.

Thoughts?

Yes, exactly what I was thinking.
