Swap variables in library

This feature is essential

The swap libraries feature does not support variables. This breaks many workflows for people that use variables.

Variables should not have been released to production without this feature.

Also hoping this will be changed! We rely heavily on the Swap Library feature and have embraced variables. Current implementation it feels counter intuitive and opaque to us.

After discovering this behaviour, we have been forced to backtrack and revert applied variables to styles.

I think we should swap variables from one external to another, or local variants like swapping styles.

I’ve also encountered the same problem as others stated above. But we are already way too deep into variables to backtrack now.

I join you in supporting the idea that it should be possible to swap variables, as is the case for styles.

We desperately need this feature for our white-label product.

We are currently relying on this plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1264578192495051449

But it doesn’t work perfectly and normally a few variables (of hidden layers usually, or variables with transparencies) don’t get swapped properly and we end up having to manually hunt down the elements with unswapped variables and manually select the correct variables. Otherwise, you won’t be allowed to switch to a different mode.

Figma, please add this variable swapping feature ASAP!! Please.

Please.
Pls.

One more voice for this fix. I was quite perplexed facing this bug (?) two months later after migrating my color styles to variables.
