Use inverse of Boolean variable to show/hide layer

100% an intuitive need for us as designers. 

Expectation:
Because the object is visible as I create the property and set the toggle to Off, I would expect Off to = Visible.

Reality:
Instead, I get surprised when I click Create. The object now becomes invisible. Not my intention. In order to accomplish my goal of a component variable where I can essentially click a toggle On to get a simplified version of the component, I have to use a normal dropdown variant selection instead of a simple boolean.

@Figma, here’s my workflow where I expect it to work:

1. Select currently visible object within component. 
2. Click Apply Variable Property > +New
3. Name variable (i.e. Hide Text) and set the toggle value to Off. 

Crazy that we still don’t have this feature.

Need the same feature from a year ago, but it’s still missing -_-

+1, I need this too.

Very important.

This just force me to create unnecessary component versions.

I don’t understand such a basic thing isnot offered but we have an AI tool integrated to add images...

I just encountered this (after only a short while with the product).  Yes, Visibility of a layer should allow the specification of an expression.  So, ‘Item Selected’ variable can be referenced as ‘Item Selected’, ‘!(Item Selection)’, or any number of other more complex expressions.  Please add this functionality soon so that we don’t have to duplicate all booleans and define (and set) a negated value alongside every boolean.

Please add this, it would save a lot of effort and reduce confusion from redundant variables.

There is so much bloat and unnecessary complexity in both if/else logic and creating variants to achieve this.

A hack I use is to set a conditional instead of connection lines and then use true/false statements in there
