Copy/Move variable groups into other collections

Need this feature! 🙂

Would be super helpful for separating primitive variables into new file without having to redefine all applications across semantic variables.

While, this doesn’t address your issue perfectly, I believe this approach, or something similar could help ease the pain of moving styles and components together.

While not a full solution, I have found the plug-in Sheets to Variables really helpful. Once the option for assigning tokens is added (I think the author is planning on this) they will be even more useful.

This is killing me right now. Trying to fix my variable organization so that it is scalable and follows norms/ recommend practices. At minimum, “Duplicate Collection” would us at least duplicate and remove the unwanted variables

Please also solve the cases where styles are set with variables. We can have color styles pointing to a color variable. When performing cut and paste, such color styles no longer point to the color variable.

yes please Figma, allows us to better organise collections 🫰

Hi everyone
Waiting for this feature to be implemented, I built a plugin to copy & move variables to another Figma file (freemium):
You can select the variables they want to move and it will take all the depending variables and copy them to your new file.

I created a small tutorial video for it (4mins), I hope it will help you

In case of any additional questions or desired improvements, don’t hesitate to let me know on the plugin page or here
If you like the plugin and find it useful please feel free to give it a like and share it 🤗 !

bump please
