I recently started working in more detail with Figma’s Variable and Prototyping tools and have noticed a few areas that would help make my life a bit easier. There are a number of them that I discovered have already been mentioned on the forums so I’ll skip those.

The main one for this topic is as follows:

I have a somewhat detailed organisational structure for my variables and given that the panel sizes for prototyping are so small it means I have to rely on the tooltips to know which variables I’m looking at sometimes especially with variables with the same name (since I use groups to organise them).

The problem here is that not all variable fields in the prototyping popups or panels have tooltips referencing the path to the variable. Which means I have to often delete and re-add a variable to make sure its the right one. Until such a time as we have an improved UI for prototyping, it would be great to have the tooltips work universally.
