Hi! var_names can’t just contain values from .var.index, but also other sources, handled by

sc.get.obs_df(adata, keys=keys, layer=layer, use_raw=use_raw, gene_symbols=gene_symbols)

One approach could be to add a warn_only: bool = False parameter to .sc.get.obs_df which could then be specified in the plotting function.
