Expand Clipping Group
Please let the Expand function work for Clipping Groups as well, to get rid of the Clipping Mask while keeping the intersected objects.

Oscar, yeah, I am seeing the problem and confirm it.

Hi Egor, It's been a while since I posted the comment above but if I remember correctly, I had issues expanding some complex repeat objects. I covered it in this video: https://youtu.be/n1_p_qCGdlo?t=468

Jan, can you illustrate it with a mockup?
What do you have, and what you expect to get?Oscar, you can Expand new Repeat objects, and it gives a clipping group. What do you expect to get then? Please elaborate.

Jan, this is an extremely difficult task.
Remember, we can clip whatever we want. Gradient mesh grids, art with opacity masks, linked images, live text — how do you see the operation handling all of these? -

A clipping mask is a non destructive Pathfinder function avant la lettre.
Please make it possible to 'expand' it, in the same way as Compound Pathfinder shapes. -

Because of the absence of this feature, there is no easy way to Expand the new Repeat tools that were introduced with the 25.1 update

A destructive clipping mask would be nice. I have to save as svg for the laser printer, and the svg shows the clipped area!
