+1 for so many reasons, but fundamentally for making drag-&-drop prototypes with any fidelity.

2 Years to add variables to x and y seems about right.

hello,

it would be very much appreciated if it was possible to apply numeric variables to the x & y position of absolute positioned elements within components. Here is the case i am working on:

 

 

While everything is completely tokenized and adjusts to different screen densities, i cannot apply the positioning tokens to the design defining the absolute positioning of the dropdown -list flyout. As you can see the distance needs to be adjusted as well. This would be solved if a dynamic token was applied.

This flyout needs to be absolute positioned, so it can be above other elements in forms.

Please make it possible to apply variables to the position of absolute positioned elements! 🙂

Figma, can I ask why after 2 years there is no implementation? what’s the problem?
