I’m so hyped we can now map variables to component properties!
One reason why I’m really excited about this is it finally unlocks the ability to use translation strings in conjunction with props. Here’s a free design to see how it all works:

Now you can! No detaching needed.

I'm super honored and can't wait to share the stage at #config2024 with @_AnaBoyer and @alexiadanton where we'll take a dive into design systems. We'll share some insights and @figma tips we've learned throughout our careers and working with so many of you across the community!
