Local Variables visible to View Only users


dimdan

Engineers on my team just noticed that they can’t see and export local variables unless they have edit permissions. This is a huge limitation since not everyone on my team can have edit permissions due to licensing/cost.

My ideas is to keep local variables visible to View Only collaborators. They should not be able to edit the variables.

Hey Daniela, thank you for your feedback! We’ll pass this along to the teams.


I totally agree! This is just a MUST. I am on an enterprise plan, and have around 50 dev viewers in my department alone. They are thousands in the org.


Another thing we need is for properties column to show the content of the variable, like e.g. HEX value for color var. Not just its name. Same reason as above request.

This is a must have!

I too can vouch for this issue. It is tedious and time consuming to expect developers to manually add variables one by one to their codebase as they can only see the relevant upon selecting an element

As a work-around I have had to build a table listing out all the token names and their primitive tokens and all the hex values for everyone to see, but it must be updated manually - which is easy to forget -- so confusion arrises. Very annoying pain point!
