Copy, paste, and export Figma Variables into CSV format!

Simple plugin that copies and pastes variables between files. Copied variables can also be exported into a downloadable CSV file.

HOW TO USE:

• Open the plugin and hit "Copy Variables". The copied collections and modes should then appear in the plugin UI.
• Go to the file you want to paste to, open the plugin and hit "Paste".
• Double-check that the pasted variables match the original. Sometimes they get pasted out of order.
• Copied variables can also be exported by hitting "Export" and then clicking on the "Download CSV" link that appears underneath.

⚠️ PLEASE NOTE: Aliases that reference external (non-local) variables will not work and will be shown in the console if found.
Also, pasted variables may not always end up in their original order- I am not a dev and don't know why this happens (if anyone can help, please do 🥲)

LOCAL ALIASES IN SPREADSHEETS: ⚠️ Google Sheets may apply a number format on the ID column that changes their value, so please watch out for that. This doesn't seem to be an issue in Excel. To display variable aliases as links in a spreadsheet, create a new "Alias" column (H) after ID (G) and for its value, apply the following formula to its cells: =IFNA(HYPERLINK("#"&CELL("address",INDEX(F:F,MATCH(TEXTAFTER(F2,"type:VARIABLE_ALIAS, id:VariableID:"),G:G,0))),CONCAT(B2,C2)), "")
