Calculation formular within variable input

Share an idea
1

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete.

Does anybody feel the same?
Will there be an update?

I would appretiate this feature as well!
Scaling items depending on values is one thing I’m working most of the times.

Yeah, It would be great to add calc() function to variables definitions similar to CSS including numbers, colors, and booleans

It will be great to be able to create REM.
