HEX Value can't overwrite spot colors in color palette
I set a global color (Spot or process doesn't matter) but if I try to enter any code in the HEX value field, I'm not allowed to type anything. I must first convert the color to CMYK or RGB with the appropriate button and only at this point I'm allowed to type the code in the HEX field
It would be much more practical to be able to insert the HEX code even without having to necessarily convert the color to CMYK or RGB first

Hmm. Converting a global color into a local one (and entering a new HEX value is basically is a conversion) is a destructive operation. Just editing a field and loosing the global status would be unintentional for some users...
But if Ai allows to set the cursor in the field, I think a warning should be given, and the conversion should be allowed if a user agrees. Another solution, making the field read-only for global colors, would be less practical and even more annoying, although technically more correct.
