Thank you so much for sharing this! I had the exact same issue today and was able to solve it quickly and easily through watching this video πŸ‘

Another way to remove it is where it says Unknown Variable. Hold Option and Click on Mac, and it does the same thing. A lot of this was fixed with the new Relume importer though with the style guide but if you still get it that's another option

The thumbnail = 100% πŸ˜†

Appreciate you contributing a solution to the community @Jacob Vinjegaard! This error has been quite complex for us to resolve for all the different workflows, so I'm glad you found a workaround.

If I'm copy and pasting from Relume, by selecting my Style Guide preference in Relume (which is super hidden - see below) this should resolve it for most people. Otherwise I have also been resolving this error bug as @Michael Riga has shared ☝

Moving forward, with our new updates we have things set up a lot better to make this a more seamless experience when we make changes to the system in the future πŸ™‚ Thanks for rolling through the bumps in the road with us.

Appreciate it!
