Adjustment of a gradient in Live Painting Bucket (K)
In Illustrator CC2019 the Adjustment of a gradient in Live Painting Bucket (K) does not work.
When in Live Painting Bucket (K) i apply the gradient, then i can not adjust it manually.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our release – 24.0.2 which is available worldwide now.
Going forward, our goal is to fix as many top User-Voice bugs as possible and as frequently as possible. Given the nature of the fixes, some of the bugs will take a longer time to fix, but we are on it.
You can update to the latest release using Creative Cloud desktop App: https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/creative-cloud-updates.html
Thank you for all the feedback. Keep it coming!

I agree with Lee and Ton.
The problem has been going on for years now. I was the first to raise a hand in 2018 and report this issue that forces the user to use Adobe Illustrator CC2018 (the only working version).
However I am still paying for the annual subscription to get the lastest and always updated version. I suggest the admin to start really worrying about fixing this Bug which is really limits the capabilities of this software. -

"November 07, 2018 and we get a reply 03/03/2020 , really you want a pat on the back for that or something . worst customer service ...EVER"
You beat me to it, Scott.
The only thing Adobe does promptly is to suck our money.

The only workaround I can find, is to "expand" the Live Paint and then you can use the Direct Selection Tool to select the area and then with the gradient tool, adjust the gradient. NOT IDEAL. I've found that it works well with simple shapes, but doesn't always work with complicated ones. PLEASE FIX THIS ADOBE.

melenmaria -- I think you can have multiple versions on your company's PC (which is what the setup at my workplace is). Check with your IT dept. This is, of course, not the ideal solution. Adobe really should have fixed this well-documented bug by now. It is just not right for Adobe to keep charging its customers for something that is not fully functional.

I have the advantage to work from home but I cannot do it because of that. On my company we still work with the 22.1.

Yes - you can install an older version - I’m still primarily using 22.1 for just this reason (but paying for the latest version)

Can I install additional on my pc an older version as this is a main tool for my job?

Nope, still not fixed. Despite "Adobe announces record Q4 with annual revenue of $11 billion in 2019".

Ditto...I use this exclusively and called 'tech support' regarding this issue in CC 2019. They tried everything and finally were resolved to setting me up with Illustrator 2018. Not really a fix.

When will you fix the error with the gradient in LivePaint? Hope it gets fixed very soon, since I use these features daily. Can't switch to new version of illistrator before it works properly!
