Use percentage for size variables

I don’t understand how this is still unsupported. Figma has built in percentage support for things like line height. Why in the world would they release variables without supporting percentages?

PLEASE for corner radius and stroke, too.

Another +1 here.

Tried to save line-height percentages as variables (i.e. "loose": "200%" ) and it seems they are unsupported, even as strings.

Upvote for variables using percentage. Would definitely use this feature.

Absolutely +1 for this feature

+1 also for the Topic and there are many more ideas around percentage: Fr/Percent units for more control over auto layout content

@atien +1 for this feature. Will also be especially useful for things like line-height and letter spacing. We use unitless values in CSS not fixed px values which could vary between fonts and modes.

Absolutely a good idea. Need it for line height and letter spacing.

I feel like this feature is almost a requirement to have considering modern webdev principles. Percents should also be applied to the Variables features. Currently there is only a “Number” variable, which is just limited to floating point numbers, very limited application.

The only cases I can see that it may cause issues is for values that aren’t entirely tied to dimensions, but for line-height. This kind of case, should always be relative to the font-size (e.g. if Variable-A = 150% or 1.5x, and another variable Font-Size = 16, a third variable Header = Font-Size * Variable-A wold result in Header = 24)

This could also help with opacities in colors and pass through %.

Overall, the feature would help to streamline not just the concern for responsive design, but also unify other features as well.

Yes, this is needed! Also seems to tie in with these threads about % as well:
