Illustrator to PS Smart object updating broken
Bug persists on both windows and Mac. Illustrator v2020.x (issue not present before v2020.x)
BUG: When using smart objects in photoshop, linked to an illustrator file: after updating illustrator file and saving, the smart object always reverts to first artboard in PS and artwork shifts upon re-updating is PS.
Steps:
1. Make new layer in PS. Right Click layer->Convert to smart object
2. Right click PS layer->replace contents->select a multi artboard illustrator
file -> select any artboard other than the first ->place as "media box".
3. Double click smart object layer to open in illustrator. -> make any
adjustment to file then save."
Expected Result: Artwork is automatically updated in PS smart object with no shifting or artboard, while retaining the correct artboard selected.
Actual Result: If any artboard besides #1 was selected on initial placement, the smart object always reverts back to. artboard #1 upon saving edits in illustrator file. As well, the smart object seems to think "bounding box" placement method instead of "media box" and artwork shifts around.
