Known limitations for Variants and Variables
Variants and Variables are here, and you can now test them in the beta feature on Framer Web.
Because Variants and Variables affect a large part of Framer, we want to make sure we catch as many bugs as possible.
For this reason, the Variants and Variables features are first available only as a beta feature.
