Hi Misha, Thanks for your thought!

I tested on my end and I cannot apply string variables to a specific word within a text layer. : https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/14506821864087

So, this seems like a feature request for me. I have shared this feedback with our internal team for future consideration, and moved this topic to share an idea for votes!

Thank you!

It’s not the best but I have a found a workaround, you will need to have that word in a different frame and apply auto-layout to simulate the space between words. With that now you can apply the string variable just to that specific word. I hope this helps.

Thank you! Works well as a one-time lifehack, but I have hundreds of components affected by this issue 🙂

I need this too and couldn’t find it working correctly yet. The suggestion of @Tellez_Alcantar_Enrique doesn’t work if the text is in paragraphs covering several text lines. I have one large paragraph and need to adapt 10 text variables each month. It would be a huge time-saver to have this semi-automated.

Yep I understand the frustration, I also will like to have this option available

I would like to have this functionality prioritized as well. This is essential for my work and would be a huge time saver. Fingers crossed Figma will continue to develop on this, as it would make working with white label design system much faster.
