Allow Library text assets to save style and insert it with or without formatting
v22.1, Windows, 64bit
When I try to add text with a modified appearance to the library I get;
"Only basic appearances are supported for Text in Libraries. Advanced appearances have been dropped to add text to the current Library."
Or; "Couldn't save text asset having style. Remove the styles and try again”.
Seriously – no text styles in the library now? face palm
Ok, so 'Text library asset' is a thing now… whatever it’s supposed to be for, it’s braking basic library functionality.
If I want to add text with an advanced appearance to a library (ie. the ONLY sort of text I'd ever want to add to a library) then I have to add it with a non-text object. Then, I have to remove the useless group which gets added when taking things out of the library now, and delete the extra object. Time wasted...
The grammar mistakes show how much thought was put into this feature - please fix it or remove it.

Users can add text to a library. When already in a text field, users can insert text from a library 'in line', which imports the text together with all of its formatting characteristics (defined when it was added to the library or later modified).
It would be very helpful to offer an option to insert text from the library without formatting , to cater for situations when we want to use the message but preserve the destination style.
