Make it possible to move Variable Mode Columns

I happily created a variables collection for my existing dark mode and light mode color style palettes that I had in my Design System.

The thing is, my app is primarily designed in dark mode, but I created the light mode variables first and now I’m stuck with having light mode as the default which is very frustrating. My only option seem to be do just delete and redo the ‘light mode mode’ which I’m not that keen on doing.

I wish it was possible to just change the order of my color variable mode columns horizontally using drag and drop, just like how you change order of variant properties vertically.

Thank you very much for the long-awaited update on Variables – finally! However, some basic table functionality is still missing. I would like to better manage columns in variable data tables:

  • Add a column at a specific location
  • Delete a column
  • Rearrange column order

Thanks,
Chris

Would it be dramatic to say that I am horrified this isn’t currently possible? It seems like incredibly obvious functionality.

Checking in and this is still not available! Plugins are not an option at my company because each plugin requires approval from corpsec, which is time consuming and intensive to say the least. Also, requesting the use of a plugin to fix what should absolutely be a built-in feature is...ridiculous.

Hello 👋🏼

is there a way that i can change the position of my variable values. 
 

E.g. i have 20 values and need to add another. The problem is that i always have to scroll to the end of my variable overview. 

But i want my “main” values in the first 3 values columns.

 

Thank you guys!

I can add my topic to this request:

We really need this, AND my company, just like @Vero5, is very restrictive when it comes to plugins.

Hiya @Jim_Knox - thanks so much for taking time to provide this! I just submitted your feedback/request over to our engineering team. I will do my best to reach out when I’ve gotten an update.

Any update? :)
