I added design tokens in Adobe XD by naming the colors and character styles presented in the assets panel, then applied the design tokens in the main component. I can view the design tokens in the current XD file specs link.
But when IIdragged the component from the components library onto a new XD file to share that component across documents, I noticed that all the design tokens were missing in design specs.
It's so inconvenient that developers only can view the design tokens in the original design specs.

Reuse components lost their design tokens in the design spec.

Hi 璇23831066u64y,
Sorry for the trouble. I have tried to replicate it; however, it is working fine on my end.
Here is what I did.
If this is not what you're doing, please share the steps to reproduce it so I can investigate it.
Please ensure that you update Adobe XD to the latest build, XD 54, and let us know if that help.
Thanks,
Atul_Saini

I already confirmed my Adobe XD is the latest build XD 54.0.12.
It's inconvenient that developers only can view the design tokens in the original design specs. When I created a new file to reuse components from the library, I needed to apply the color and character style all over again.
Designers often collaborate to maintain a large website, follow the same design guideline, and share design assets with libraries. If there's a website with dozens of design files and hundreds of different components, I need to apply the design tokens thousands of times. Just so that engineers can see the names of the color and typography in Design specs.

Can somebody help me with these problems?
