Hi David, Variables are a part of QML / Layer Style. There is a QEP open about handling of this:
https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/issues/125 While variables are not explicitly mentioned in there, it would be good to treat them in the same way. I.e. allow exporting and importing QML files without variables. This should allow to export and subsequently load a style without variables being embedded. Would be great if you could add a comment to the QEP.
