This would be genius. I have a workflow that would benefit from this greatly. Currently, creating swatches and then exporting as images to link as a variable to create masked objects with different colors. Swatches associated to variables would be so much easier and allow greater flexibility.

This would be very helpful. Here is my workflow:
I create customizable prints that can include different patterns based on a customer's selection at purchase. Each product SKU has a corresponding patterns and custom colors in my AI template. I currently have to select each pattern and apply it manually. It would be great if I could automate this step in production by dynamically adding the pattern to the artboard based on the configurations from my CSV file.

Jonatan, can you elaborate on a workflow you want to achieve with that?
