+1 …. Please Figma. I don’t want to disconnect the Variable each time to set to make a lower opacity variant

+1 on this! Would be massively helpful to support multi-brand typography using variables.

please let this be a feature...my token studio imports only halfway work...sometimes it sets the line height correctly to the percentage but other times it uses the variable that is created (which transforms into a decimal).


Ex:
Token Studio lineHeightVar = 94% turns into Figma lineHeightVar = 0.94. Half the time the typography style uses the % but the other half it uses the Figma var so i have to manually edit it every time I import typography.

Line Height technically already allows for percentages in Figma so it only makes sense to allow for percentages in variables

Yup, without having a % type of field in variables setting them up for Line Height and Letter Spacing gets super wonky.

I figured out it with letter spacing, e.g. -0.25 -0.5 0 1 etc, but that doesn’t really reflect it nicely. For the Line Height percentage would be great cause there’s no way of doing it with Floats

Please allow percentages in variables for better flexibility and easier calculations.

This is one of the most annoying missing features in Figma! 

It is way to cumbersome getting line-height and letter-spacing variables out into production css, and we try to have Figma as “The one Truth” so please include this one, small but very powerfull, feature in Config this summer (2026)!
