Eyedropper tool in Recolor Artwork dialog is not available
In the Recolor Artwork panel, there is no eyedropper tool at the top. There is only the word "Reset". Why is this happening?

When you select a color in Recolor Artwork and the Color Picker popup appears, there is no way to PICK a color from your own artwork in your document. The color picker icon/button is missing.
This is especially bad because when recoloring artwork, you often work with the colors you’re currently using in your design. Now I have to leave Recolor Artwork completely, find the color's hex code or save the color as a swatch, and reopen Recolor Artwork and the Color Picker to use the color. A very convoluted and annoying process.
Recoloring you artwork shouldn't be this complicated and you should have access to sample any color from within the color picker just like you can do in the regular color picker. A picker should be able to PICK colors!

Karen, that is exactly why there is no eyedropper icon anymore — because that was not the eyedropper :)
The manual (https://helpx.adobe.com/ru/illustrator/how-to/recolor-artwork.html) states:
'Experiment fearlessly — you can always get back to where you started by clicking the eyedropper icon.'So it’s been Reset all the time, but with the confusing icon.
Changes in help files were not updated yet. Thanks for bringing this up.
