Hello. I was wondering if it is possible to have percentage values in variables, like setting percentage value for frame widths or shape sizes (etc.) that have variable modes applied to them? Percentage values could respond better to content that varies within a frame or frames within frames.
+1 to using percentage across the all variable. Including line-height please.

+1 – Figma features and additions seem to be getting slower and slower as the years get on. Please don’t rest on your laurels as Adobe has been doing for the last 20+ years
+1. Just had this come up with our mobile developers. Percentage sizing would be a very powerful tool for responsive design!

Ditto this...
Why don’t we have native REM values yet either, with the option to change a base value?
This is basic stuff for web design, and that anyone designing for web (or app) should be using or aware of.
Yes please ! Need this for relative sizing of different components across breakpoints
Hi
Yes, you can use percentage-based values in variables, depending on the design tool you're using. Many tools support relative sizing—like setting width or shape size to a percentage of the parent frame—which works great for responsive layouts. If your tool supports expressions or constraints, or if you just need to quickly calculate values manually, this Percentage Calculator is a super handy tool to have on hand.

The use of viewport width percentage is very much needed and very long overdue! Please add this!
