Design tokens with the same values

Is there a way to create colors (design tokens) that use the same hex value? Whenever I try this my assets get combined. I'm creating a design system and want to set up variables for different components so they can be easily changed later on. For instance, I may want to create a border color for inputs and a background color for cards. They may be the same color now but if I need to change my input border color later on I don't want it to apply the same color to the cards. This is where I need multiple variables with the ability to set them to the same color. This is similar to Figma's ability to have design tokens point to other design tokens. Is this functionality currently possible in XD?

 

Thanks!

Hi Default3bgez6fly5zr,

 

Thank you for reaching out, I am afraid it is not possible on the XD yet, however, you can use an extension Adobe XD for Visual Studio Code | Let's XD to achieve these results.
