Copy/Move variable groups into other collections

still awaiting a resolution. I appreciate your dev team’s continued efforts; I’m sure their eyes must be tired from keeping such a close watch on this for so long.

Not really lunched: Currently, variable groups cannot be moved without losing all variable links. Based on the thread title, I expected the ability to move variable groups to other collections while retaining their corresponding variable links. This feature would be very useful, as the optimal collection structure sometimes only becomes apparent during the development process. Consequently, making adjustments is currently limited, or it becomes very time-consuming to reassign all variable links when the collection structure is changed.

+1 We need this feature.

Ran into this issue today, and pretty surprised there’s this much support for so long without resolution - the variables manager is woefully underdeveloped for how critical it is to core workflows.

I have a set of color variables that I need to expand heavily - these need to be grouped/categorized differently, so I need to move that set over to a new collection, and keep the links already created in some hundreds of files. This is simply impossible at the moment.

to be clear: copy is not sufficient at all, move is required

We also need to be able to move (not copy) variables between collections while retaining the links. Surprised to see this isn’t a feature, even inside of a single file.

Why does this say “Launched?” This is annoying and silly. This should be basic, standard functionality. And to say “launched?” Is just a waste of everyone’s time who is trying to find an answer.

I thought the figma team undestand the designers. This ‘launch’ proves me wrong. I dont care about copying the values. As its been stated here multiple times we want to MOVE the variables we arleady have retainign the links that already exist. Its hard to plan the structure you’ll be happy with beforehand and we need ways to correct ourselves along the way. 

Why cant we still move variables between collections?

It says launched but isn’t launched. We really need this in order to remap our token structure without having to remap all of our tokens and then to every component. PLEASE come out with this soon. 🙏
