"Repeat only" feature pattern?

Is there a way to repeat a set of features without translating the geometry? Basically linear/circular/curve pattern but just reapplying the features to update the value of driving variables in each iteration?
My example use case is a sweep operation that I want to repeat while increasing rotation on the sketch profile (not the twist) on each iteration.
This feels like something that will have an obvious answer but I promise I searched before posting this!

For variable driven patterns I just use a linear pattern with distance set to 0 and top plane as the direction.
Are you meaning something like this?: Tech Tip: How to Use Variables in Patterns to Vary Features. Checking out this FeatureScript from Evan Reese may also be what you are looking for:🚨 Custom Feature Alert 🚨 Query Pattern — Onshape
Yeah as @bladec says, if incrementing the variable is what makes things happen you can use 0 distance linear pattern to do that (a zero angle circular pattern should also work)
