Use percentage for size variables

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.

Same request here, I need this to define the line-height of my typescale.

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

Would love to see this come to light. Working on some hi-fi prototypes using variables and this one enhancement would simplify so much.

Uup. Still is a very needed and obvious feature. Why only hardcoded numbers can be used?

Only Figma is able to calculate size in pixels based on %% like:
size = %% / max_size
, because we don’t know the max_size for the layer in responsive environment, so only Figma can help there.

plz plz plz Figma make it happen.

 

This not being a starting feature 10 years ago was already crazy but still not done to this day is pure nonsense.
