"Apply to All" checkbox or "Replace All" button are missing AGAIN
Apply to All option for missing/replacing links is missing again in version 28.5. Now instead of being able to click that and replace all links I know have to do the relink step up to 30 times every print file.
I have no words, but this solution is missing again form both the latest Beta and the GA. There is no new information on it. As soon as anything gets known — the status will be updated again. I am so sorry.

I use Illustrator to impose a single design multiple times on a page, and have templates set up for this. When setting up the template, I used a generic file (let's call it BIZCARD01.AI) and then deleted the file, so that every time I open the template it wants me to locate the file. I used to be able to click "Apply to All," find the new file I wanted (let's call it BIZCARD NEW.AI), and it would automatically place that new file multiple times on the page, per the template. We no longer have that option, see attached screenshot. The "Apply to All" option is missing.
And NO, the "new" option on the next dialog box for re-linking files in the folder DOES NOT WORK the same as the "Apply to All" option. I want to link files with DIFFERENT file names, not have Illustrator keep looking for the filenames it already knows.
Numerous people complaining about this issue online, and so far Adobe has done nothing, as usual.
