Allow adding Patterns and Gradient swatches to Color Groups
Expanding on the existing request for gradient swatch support in color groups... We need groups that support all swatch types. I understand the purpose of Color Groups but the intuitive way to use these folders is as a generic "Swatch Group", without limitation to swatch type in order that we can organize assets appropriately within a project.
My suggestion is either to allow gradient and pattern swatches to be added to a Color Groups or add a new super group type that can contain any swatch type and color groups as well.
Groups would be organized in rows: color, gradients, patterns
In order that it's easy to discern between types.
Would be ideal also if these sets:
- are CC Library compatible
- can be exported as swatch files
And where:
- exported swatch files can be imported as a group (as opposed to a discrete swatch palette)
- exported swatch files can be dynamically linked (to allow one master swatch file to serve many working files)
Thanks!

The 29.1 general release now allows to add gradient and pattern swatches into color groups.

YES! I want to add gradients, etc. We see this as just swatches, not single colors.

This is a great idea. I work predominantly with fashion designers and we constantly want to do this to build out libraries for their collections.
