Actions don’t record renaming of groups, don’t remember the choice in Expand dialog
I'm recording Actions to in Illustrator CC 2018 ( 22.1) and I've found a few things lacking:
1) When I group objects, and name the group, while recording an action the name does not get recorded.
The group just bears the name "group".
2) If you choose "Expand" while recording an action and choose from the available options (Fill, Stroke, etc.), you are asked to make that choice again when the action runs — not much of an Action!
Aside from the above I find the lack of Conditional Action, as per Photoshop, feature disappointing: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/33770071
Are there any fixes for the above flaws or is my version of Illustrator not behaving as expected?
I just don't know.
Thanks

Unfortunately there's a ton of commands that don't record properly (at all) when recording Actions in Illustrator. They really should do a pass an ensure actions performed by the user while recording are actually recorded. Triggering things from the Properties panel for example (*the main, most important, panel in Illustrator*) fails to record most things...
