Hi, @figma any reason why cutting variables is not an option? It doesn't seem ideal to duplicate variables between collections.

[KhaPiano]

Awesome. Any way to migrate/duplicate variables to another Figma file?

[andersonlimaa]

Move variables between collection would be great

never thought I would long exhale for resizing columns in my life

nice! if I copy and paste, what happens to the connection? Do I have to link everything again?

Now let us resize ALL modals. It's a simple thing, that will make a lot of difference for us

Can someone explain me what tool was used to animate this video? (be kind with a Jr)

[ViruX]

I was hoping that moving variable modes by draging left and right would now work 😔

[nobody-btmu]

Oh my god the copy and pasting functionality is finally here.
