'Send to current layer' command is disabled when art across several layers is selected
I don't understand why it's limited, I can't see logic behind that, so I put it in Bugs, rather then Ideas.
See, I have some stuff in different layers. I select it, choose a layer, press a hotkey, I intend to collect it all in the selected layer, but nothing happens. WHY?
I have 'Collect in new layer' in Palette menu, but I have no hotkey for it (you guys do everything with mouse? really?) and i don't need a NEW layer, I need existing and selected one, and I have a command for it — ''Send to current layer' — and it does not work.
Don't force me to cut and paste! I have a lot of raster art and each cut moves this behemoth into the clipboard, which takes minutes.
Sorry, I'm upset. Just fix this one command. And everything else.

I am happy to share that we have fixed this bug in our latest release – 27.0.0 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!

It annoys me too, constantly. My workaround is to group and ungroup. This SOMETIMES sends objects to the current layer but often, I still have to execute "Send to Current Layer" so it's sometimes one operation and sometimes two. Which is annoying.
