Show variable values in variables panel

[Gabrielle_Clarke]

When you go to use a variable in the design panel, you are able to see both the variable name and its value in the current mode.

As a design system manager, I also want to see the value of aliased variables in the variables interface — both when selecting the aliased variable and once the alias has already been assigned.

Agree. This has been requested elsewhere too. I’d encourage you to vote up these:

Node editor view for variable aliases

I’m noticing to make much of anything with variables, I’m creating a lot of collections that use mostly aliases. After selecting the alias source I mostly have to keep these connections in my head. It would be nice to open up all these connections in a node editor view to either make updates or check for mistakes.

Include color variable alias in dev mode side panel

Hi. I have set up all my color variables in my design system “App_Usage_Collection.” But my devs use storybook and they call the colors by their primitive names, so I set up another collection of color variables called _Storybook. I alias the Storybook Primitives in the App_Color_Usage collection. BUT in dev mode I only see the app_color_usage collection variable name, not the alias. Can we also please see the alias listed? Thanks! [Alias in dev mode side panel please]
