Improvement request: Recognize variants for custom tokens

Open derekwsgray opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

As someone not super familiar with Figma, I was creating a bunch of custom tokens. Under a _tokens frame, I added a component, name it, say, border/mytheme-border-thin. To create the next one (e.g. border/mytheme-border-medium, I naturally Copy & Paste the first one and drag it below, and rename it. BUT this creates a variant, not a new component. It takes a few steps to convert that to a Component and really takes a lot of clicks if you have a lot of tokens to create.

Is that a possibility to support variants?

Thanks!
