Color variables in modes set to nothing/blank/null/empty

We need the ability for variables in modes to have a nothing, blank, null, or empty value.

For example, filled vs ghost buttons. In filled I have a fill color but in the ghost button it needs to be clear—so either alpha 0 (it works but it’s not elegant) or nothing (also not supported) for the variable mode to work properly.

Otherwise I can’t use variables for changing themes on objects like these.

Thanks for following up!

We’ll pass this onto the variables team for consideration.

still very much needed. Modes becomes quite unusable otherwise if you are using text etc
