Make Redefine Graphic Style option better accessible, and from the Graphic Styles panel too
If Ai had a hotkey for this command (like this request is asking for: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/41254435), perhaps this one would be less painful.
Yes, I know, you edit an appearance in the Appearance panel, and then force this changes to update the original style, using the panel’s flyout menu... but
A. I often start looking the wrong panel, thinking 'I am updating a graphic style, so the relevant command should be in Graphic Styles' — and when I realize it’s a wrong assumption, it’s too late. For some reason this habit is hard to change!
B. Why this command is still a menu item still? This is not a rare operation at all, it deserves its own small 'Update' button, in both panels!
Here, I put them in their places. The only problem is that it can be confused with the Clear Appearance one... but I can take it.

I still want a hotkey for this. And an entry in the list of things you can record an action for. And a button sure would be nice in both places, too.
Mostly I just want a hotkey because I do this ALL THE TIME.
