Variable support for gradients is just not usable right now. We have a library of different brands, and our brands define tokens as both solid colours OR gradients.
Setting these tokens up as styles just doesn’t work, and we desperately need to be able to set a variable up as a gradient or a solid colour.
Not sure why the gradient colour picker isn’t just available in the variables tool, there must be some technical reason for this, but it’s an absolute blocker right now for using variables effectively.

Very much needed here too.
We need the possibility for example in a button to use a solid color or a gradient for theming.
