Hello
I miss a capabilitie to assign a number variable to the rotation field.

If somebody have a solution (no bolean 🙃)

Hello, any luck with this one?
IMO you should add a bit more possibilities to variables… rotation would be nice : )

Just hyping this up! I see there’s no votes and that’s sad because this would be such a small thing to add that could help us create such cool animations very easily.

Also started googling for this functionality, it would be so useful! Hope to have it added at some point:)

Love this idea. I’m mocking up a gauge widget and would love to be able to expose the rotation amount somehow in the component properties. I’m wondering whether variables might be the solution to this requirement

Joining the conversation to ask for this please. Would be especially useful in widgets where the shape rotates but the text maintains orientation.

This would be great feature to get, in general some number variables would be useful in many use cases

I could also really use this feature in my current project!  Being able to assign a number variable to the rotation field would make things much simpler.

I would absolutely love this as well! Honestly, every number field should allow variables as I’d love to be able to control height and width, positioning, etc. as well.
