Variables to support percentages

Figma has added percentages to text styles, which is fantastic. However, when the style is linked to a variable, the percentage is removed, and uses px units instead. I am trying to set up my design system using a scalable token system, and little features that don’t quite work are so frustrating. 

Please allow variables to support percentages! It will help us not need to use plugins like Token Studio.

Would love to use “rem”, “percentage” or maybe even calculated values inside the variables.

 

Just a small toggle and then a dropdown in each variable value so I can change it for the variables I do not want to use “px” values. Thanks!
