Allow Global Edit to work with Text, Clip groups, Images, etc.
Would love to see advance global editing. I've noticed that grouped, clip masked and text doesn't work with global editing. This will really speed things up for all adobe illustrator user.

Hello Adobe community.
Unfortunately, the global properties menu item is very limited.I have the problem and I can't solve it using the global function.
If I want to change my written round set in my laid out pattern.
Or if I can replace a repeating image or logo with a different logo or image.So I'm forced to create the whole pattern from scratch if the customer's request changes.
The fact that explaining to the customer that this cannot be implemented with a type of search and replace function in today's age with my professional software company like Adobe, which has been known for decades, surprises me and my customers very much.
But maybe it will look better in the further development and in one of the next updates.
I hope that the programming team can offer a solution to these two problems. Thanks very much -

Especially for clipped objects. There's no logic to why it would be greyed out for clipped objects and it would really be a game changer for it to work. It seems like it should already work and it took me a while to find this post to realize it just is known that it doesn't function that way at this time. Bummer.

Allow for Global Edits to work with groups containing a text box.
For example lets pretend a group containing a smiley face and under it a text box with the word "smile". Then we create 4 copies of that group. It would be nice if we could use the Global Edit tool to edit the smiley face but more importantly the text under it. Currently the global edit tool does not work with live text or text boxes which would be useful.(Edited by admin)
