I’d to request support for using variables within prototypes for animation properties such as duration and easing.
-
We’re working to systematize motion in our design system, and the ability to define duration and easing as variables would make motion much more consistent and reusable across files and teams.
-
This is important because these values are foundational to how motion feels in the product, and they should be treated with the same level of structure and control as other design tokens.
-
Right now, there’s a disconnect between how motion is defined in code and how it’s represented in Figma, since animation values can’t be managed in the same systematic way.
-
Supporting variables for prototype animation properties would help bridge that gap, improve alignment between design and engineering, and make motion easier to maintain at scale.
