Use percentage for size variables

Adding my voice to this feature request, would be much more convenient when dealing with various size for parent component.

I also have so many use cases for this within design systems (making components responsive)

This would be so helpful to have for developing responsive components and would also help with dev handoff. Currently to implement a component that is 60% image and 40% copy area for multiple breakpoints I have to create a different component variant per breakpoint as auto layout will only give you a 50/50 split when filling an area with 2 frames inside. Seems like an easy win in getting Figma closer to CSS and seamless dev implementation.

+1 here i’d love to have percentage based resizing

+1 (Million) to using percentages for width and height in auto layout children elements!!!

Filed a similar post here: Allow for relative values in Variables, lineHeight as a percentage of fontSize

With the added support of variables for text properties, we can’t use variables because our lineHeight values are relative to the fontSize using percentages

Yep +1 to this. Re-useable components would be so much more flexible if we could work i percentages rather than pixels. It’s more accurate to how we might code a site too - so more useful into transition to development.

+1 Please make this feature happen, it’s silly to have static values, this would eliminate the need to be able to set them to Fill. For example, on mobile I want to set buttons to fill but can’t in variables, setting to 100% would eliminate that other need plus add ability to variate even more

Line height and paragraph spacing as a percentage of the text size please

Yes, we need that please !
