Detach Aliases

About this plugin

Detach Aliases lets you resolve variable's aliased values from their sources. Easily detach a specific group of variables or all variables in a collection. You can target one mode at a time or all modes at once!

1. Select your collection
2. Select the target mode or all modes
3. Enter the path to a group of variables or a single variable (see below for bulk actions)
4. Detach

Tip

1. Keep your variable window open to see the changes.
2. Use the Refresh button to pull in changes to the variables made when the plugin window is open. (see below for copy & paste)
3. Use clear to quickly delete the path.

Bulk Actions

You will most likely want to run this on a group or the entire collection:

1. Update all variables within a group by entering the path/to/group
2. Update all variables in the collection by entering / @all or @root in the path input
3. You will see all variables which are located in the path and would have aliases detached in the preview panel on the left

Plugin Notes

1. Variable names and paths are case sensitive
2. Detaching variables, especially those linked to text styles may take longer to propagate

Copy/Paste Figma Bug

If you copy/paste variables between collections, you may need to reload the tab in order for those variables to register in their new collection.
