Pasting a single CMYK channel value modifies all CMYK channels
Illustrator version: 29.8.9
Operating System: Windows 11
Description:
When I copy a single CMYK percentage value (for example, the K/Black percentage) from one object using the Color panel and paste it into the corresponding CMYK field of another object, Illustrator also changes the other CMYK channel values automatically.
Expected result:
Only the pasted CMYK channel (for example, K) should change, while the remaining CMYK values should remain unchanged.
Actual result:
Illustrator modifies the other CMYK channel values as well, even though I only pasted a value into a single channel.
Question:
Is this the expected behavior (a feature), or is it a bug? It seems impossible to copy a single CMYK percentage between objects without affecting the remaining channels.

Can confirm.
It seems that Cmd/Ctrl+V is treated as Cmd/Ctrl+Enter — all the other values get proportionally shifted relatively the value change. -

That's true! This also applies to pasted values copied from another source (text editor).

Tiago, what is the color mode of this document? Is it RGB or CMYK?
