Some files have a Variable panel with a Collections dropdown menu. Other files do not have the dropdown menu. Does anyone know why this happens? See attached. I am in Figma desktop app for macOS, in Professional Plan.
I prefer the dropdown menu, but do not see an option to enable it in my files where it is missing.

I received a reply on twixxer from @DeniseFigma:
This depends on the number of variables, modes, and how the file’s organized. Bigger files often use dropdowns to stay tidy, while smaller ones list everything for quick access.
Hopefully a feature or option is added in a future Figma release so that the UI is consistent from one file to the next.

Hi
I’ve updated this topic into a feature request. I’ll pass this feedback onto our Variables team for future consideration.
