Constraint needed for 'Transform Each' and 'Transform' effect dialogs
Please add an option to constrain the horizontal and vertical values when scaling objects using 'Transform Each'.
I almost always use 'Transform Each' to scale proportionally, and right now you have to manually set horizontal and vertical to the same value.
This has been implemented in the latest version, 27.3.1

We need proportional scale lock

How can we be a squeaky wheel for Transform Each and Transform Effects lock button - in a nice way? Please, pretty please, with sugar on top - can we have a link/lock button so we don't have to manually adjust both parameters every time?
It would save a HEAP of time when trying to get scaling to work just so, adjusting back and forth - but twice each time...
Asking nicely.... -

I've been asking for this for a long time! We need more votes! Scaling should be proportional with a link/lock button on the panel.
This Transform Each panel also appears when using Transform Effects in the Appearance Panel. This is like the only place in Illustrator (or any graphics program) where you can't scale uniformly without painstakingly changing both horizontal and vertical. -

変形パネルのWHのサイズ欄には縦横比を固定するボタンがあって便利です。変形効果ダイアログにも同じボタンがあるとより便利に使えると思うのです。

Add Lock-proportional Move and Scale in Transform Each dialogue box.

Withing the transform each dialog, there should be a chain icon to lock the aspect ratio of hor and vert so you don't need to adjust each every time.

hehehe... sorry, now I remembered all those improvements asked by loyal users for years on grids, to make easier to create Isometric Illustrations. All the design programs that appeared in the last years, all had it as an alternative grid... easy to customize and fast to use..
Now Isometric Illustration has vanished in the memories of old trends... no one more uses it, and Illustrator is still giving only as option the completely complex and time waster 3D Grid... something that after such years I've been absolutely incapable to use with success

Even it hasn't any way to lock both Horizontal and Vertical values... you have to do a so "creative" and "intuitive" thing like type manually the numbers two times... or slide unaccurately the sliders two times. Its exactly like the infamous "Free Transform Tool"... it can't do nothing similar to a "free transform".
I remember in late 90's Corel Draw was able to do deformations, distortions and "transform each" complex operations just right over the objects, visually and dragging their bounding anchors in real time.
That's why I'm afraid that we will never see these improvements... to solve all this, Adobe should need to rebuild Illustrator from zero again

変形効果と個別に変形ダイアログの拡大縮小に比率をリンクボタンを追加して欲しいのです。同じ数値を2度入力するのは手間なのです。

Somehow this excellent “power user” feature got lost in around some early CC versions.

Yes, this is similar to a request I posted. Holding COMMAND and ENTER used to scale both H and W values when entering a numeric Transform value. Upvoted.
