An error occurred while saving the comment An error occurred while saving the comment There is another way to do it.
Instead of using the Reflect tool, try to record the Flip Horizontally command from the Transform panel’s flyout menu.
Notice that it does support the reference point from the panel, so you can make the artwork get reflected from the right side instantly, without dealing with the width of the art. To quickly set the reference point to the side you want, you can install and record running this script into the action: https://onthehead.com/ais/preference006/ (use 3flab-transfrom_point_setting_5_center_right.jsx)
So your action will have just 4 steps: duplicate in two steps (your way or copy/paste), setting a reference point, flipping.
Ai will throw a warning on running an external script, though. To get rid of it, make it run a JSX script with this singe line of code:
app.preferences.setBooleanPreference("ShowExternalJSXWarning", 0);
This will disable showing this message for all external scripts.
Does this solve this for you? Please write back when you try the solution. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Elissa, sorry, but what do you mean with 'print box'?
I suppose it’s some kind of layer, specific to this particular template or a vendor-specific practice. In this case Illustrator knows nothing about the original intention of some layers been hidden or tweaked, so obviously can’t message you anything.
Can you please elaborate more on this? Perhaps some screenshots at least? -

An error occurred while saving the comment OK, thanks, fixed the request
An error occurred while saving the comment Carson, how do you think Pencil (not Pen), a freeform drawing tool, should snap to the grid? It doesn’t snap to it on desktop, and it is ...normal. Pen though should snap. Perhaps you meant Pen?

The latest Beta build 29.6.107 now uses the original solid color as a starting gradient color, instead of white, when switching to gradient.
You can still assign the default white-to-black gradient by clicking the gradient chip in the Gradient panel or a toolbar while holding Cmd/Ctrl.
Try it out and let share your feedback.
An error occurred while saving the comment Gradiator, a paid plugin from Astute Graphics, has 'Flat Color to Gradient' option, which allows different conversions. But surely it just should be available form the box — as an option.

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a bunch of scripts for this, but having this option natively is very appealing.
An error occurred while saving the comment I have a workaround scripts to help automate gradient creation from a flat color and back to flat from chosen gradient stop, but it requires AHK and Windows. Message me, if you want to try.

An error occurred while saving the comment This is extremely weird.
I occasionally have the dialog ignoring my values, but only once, and rare enough to ignore it. But you say it does this all the time for you? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Marthe, this is bizzare :( It feels that like for some reason the type objects loose their coordinates and get reset to 0,0.
Most likely the team would need the file to test — can you please share a copy of it? Here publicly, if you are allowed, or privately, via sharewithai@adobe.com — in this case, please specify the link to this page for tracking purposes (https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46429945). -

An error occurred while saving the comment There is a larger request about it: https://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/333657/suggestions/32532658
It does not mention the color values, but feels relevant enough.
For some having these decimal spaced is crucial. For some — irritating. And for some — the current approach is the only way to get both at the same time :)
So I don’t really see a clear way to solve this. A way to customize decimal spaces is nice, but then it will require to have both the panel and the dialog to be mentioned, to maintain the current way it works... anyway, thanks for noticing and reporting.AdminEgor Chistyakov

The problem got 'solved' by unplugging a Dell monitor connected to MacBook Pro. Changing the resolution also helps.
However, this is not a true solution, but a workaround. If you have this issue too — please vote and comment.
An error occurred while saving the comment Yes, you can send the file over to sharewithai@adobe.com — the team reads it all the time, but I personally doubt this can help, since you both say it’s not file-specific... correct?
Again, you were not able to verify if disabling the second monitor change anything. The bug is rare enough, and limiting it at your side can be very helpful for the team. Try to work with your MacBook only and unplug temporarily your Apple Studio Display.An error occurred while saving the comment The plot thickens :(
Thanks for keeping it updated...An error occurred while saving the comment I wonder what changes if the tool gets reassigned to, say, Shift+N instead? Will the error still pop up? This would allow to see if the tool is somehow faulty, or rather the hotkey N itself.
But I can see this is not comfortable at all, so it’s just an idea I’d personally test... -

Do you have a chance to confirm that? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Richard, can you please check what settings do you have in Preferences > Clipboard Handling? Does disabling 'Include SVG Code' help?
Also — do you, by any chance, have any clipboard manager installed? They have a tendency to corrupt the buffer data from Ai. -

An error occurred while saving the comment Catarina, does it happen all the time with this specific artwork? Or was it only a one-time event?
Does it really crash or go unresponding? If it crashed — did you submit the crash report? -

An error occurred while saving the comment Alvaro, once you copy an image to the buffer (from the context menu, e.g.), you can paste it in Ai just fine :)
I suspect you mean something else, right? Then, please, write exactly what do you mean, in steps, with full details.
'Get inspired' is a very broad request and can't really be treated effectively. Please be specific. -

An error occurred while saving the comment A script would have to be run anyway. There is no way I know of to let Illustrator run anything automatically on a file open/create event.
So in any variant it requires an action from a user — to click a brush tip in a persistent library or to run a script (and as far as I know, scripts can't load or create brushes at all).
I'm afraid there is no other practical solution to this :/
The request seems valid though, I can imagine the benefits, and for other presets too, like swatches and styles.An error occurred while saving the comment There are several ways to have this in Illustrator today.
1. Saving your brush into a separate local brush library, opening it as a separate panel and then marking the panel as a 'persistent' one. But yes — this wild require to click on a brush tip in this palette for it to appear in Brushes (but you have to pick it anyway, right?)
2. Customizing existing document profiles or creating your own, to include whatever brushes, swatches or other presets. Illustrator stores these in a dedicated folder — try searching 'Print.ai' to locate them. This method will work for new files only, when the first one just adds a permanent extra palette.
3. Templates in .ait format are easier to create and work almost like document profiles. Same limitations apply.
Do these work for you? If not — why exactly?
Thanks for the request anyway, and please reply.
Constantine, there are a lot of tutorials on web with detailed instructions on using scripts. Yep, Ai lacks finesse in dealing with this, but the general method is to put them into the designated folder and later call them via File > Scripts menu (need relaunching Ai to make it see them after being placed). You can also record calling scripts in actions.
