Action shortcuts are lost when rearranging action sets
If I manually rearrange the order of my Action Sets by dragging a set up or down in the list, all the shortcuts assigned to the actions in this set are lost.
35 votesI am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 26.1.0 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!

Actions ignore dash settings
When action is created to change line to eg. Dash 20pt, Gap 20pt, Align dashes to corners and path ends and action is run on a file, Illustrator changes only Dash size and ignoring the Gap size and aligment of dashes.
Another action crated to scale all in a file disproportionaly and action is run, it does not scale disproportionaly - ignores disproportion values.
Actions cannot be trasted (used to be very good in pre CC version).11 votes -
Abnormal selection after executing an action in a script.
According to the person in the know, this has been occurring since version 25.4; it was normal in 25.2.x.
When an action to duplicate an object is created and executed by specifying the action in the script function doScript(), the execution completes with the duplicated object and the original object selected at the same time.Although it is logical to perform all processing in scripts, there are situations where it is unavoidable in the process.
In addition, this is clearly an abnormal situation.
We would like to see an improvement.Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version)

Locate in an action gives an error when nothing is selected
Layers panel has a 'Locate Object' command in its menu.
It can be recorded into an action directly, without messing with the Actions’ 'Insert Menus Item...' workaround approach.However, when this recorded action is called with no selection made, Ai throws an error (!):
The action failed with an unexpected error code.
Error:CANT...if there is nothing to locate, locate nothing. But an error is too harsh, it breaks workflows.

You can't import actions by dragging .aia file into Illustrator
We can run a script by drag-n-dropping it into Illustrator.
We can open files like this.
We can’t load an actions set by dropping an .aia file into Ai, even if we snpe the Action panel specifically. We are forced to use the panel’s menu, Load Actions command and the system dialog. Too clunky for the modern times.9 votes -

Find and replace text via action
Find and replace text via action does not record OR play as expected
Recording a find and replace operation records the find and replace dialog box twice (shows up in the action twice) and when playing the action, the only thing that happens is the find portions, the replacement text portions are completely ignored.
Note that this only seems to be the case when using "replace all" button in the dialog. Using the "replace" button seems to record and play correctly, even though the list of operations/options shown in the actions pallet is identical for both.
I found a forum…

3 Color Trace feature no longer working after v27.1 update
3 color trace feature no longer working after v27.1 update (also effects the other limited pallet trace functions) Previously the trace would simplify the colours of a trace, now it ads far too much detail and colour variants even when you request only 3. See attached simple trace, I wanted to keep the 3 colors from the original but extras were added (defined from low res original) this never happened before. I use this feature regularly in my workflow and have done for years. please fix this bug!

Action "Save" is recorded as "Save As".
When a user creates an action in the form of recording work, the "Save" is recorded as "Save As".
The user must replace the command with "Insert Menu Item" to work around this glitch.I have confirmed that this has been reproduced since version 23 (CC2019), but it seems to be a bug that has existed for a long time.
This is not good.<にほんご>
ユーザー作業でアクションを記録すると「保存」が「別名で保存」として記録されてしまう。
「メニュー項目を挿入」でコマンドを差し替えるしか対策がない。
手持ちのCC2019以降で再現を確認したが、もっと以前から不具合があった可能性がすごい高い。6 votes -
Delete Artboards command can’t be recoded in actions
You can’t force Illustrator to record a deletion of artboards in an action, whatever method you use — a button in the panel, a panel’s menu, with or without Insert Menu Item workaround.
How stupid is this.EVERYTHING is Illustrator should be recordable.

Cannot copy from one layer and. paste to another....
After the latest update, copy and paste between layers is wonky. If I copy an item from one layer, it will only paste back into that layer. If I make the source layer hidden and try to paste, I get the "attempting to paste to locked/hidden layer" warning. I can select an object, then drag the small box that shows up in the layers panel to a new layer, but this is a bit awkward....

Cannot grab corner handles on bounding box
Upgraded to latest version 26.5 this morning. Now, when I try and grab the corner handles on the bounding box, they flicker and disappear constantly, so cannot grab to rotate shapes or text boxes.

Actions do not save options.
Actions do not save the SVG Options for future use. I deselect Responsive and when I go back to the action at a later date the box is checked.
Please save the options in Actions.

Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute
Action Does not saving the SPOT Color attribute.
WHY IT IMPORTANT?
All screen printing industry works with same Predefined spot colors, some of them isn’t exist in Pantone solid colors palette (like a White, and a Base) some exist, like a Black, but much more simple to make a custom spot Black color - when you make a color separation and printing films with HOST SEPARATION option on
So for speed up the process - I’ve decided to make a small & simple action, which will create three predefined custom spot colors: Spot White, Base, and Spot Black. In the…

Action batch saving with data sets does not put out multiple files
I updated to version 25.4 and had a file with multiple data sets. I have an action that saves as a PDF and I wanted to "batch" this action as I have done multiple times in the past to create multiple PDFs.
However, now only one file gets saved and it gets overwritten constantly when the action repeats. The saved file name is whatever the file was saved as when recording the action, so it is not even the data set name.I have now reverted to the oldest version I could find which was 24.3 and it is working…
