    The latest Beta build 29.0.0.9 now allows us to create a gradient from selected swatches, using two ways:

    1. Select swatches you need (use Cmd/Ctrl to select several) and drag-n-drop them onto the gradient strip in Gradient panel.
    2. Select swatches you need and choose the new 'Gradient from Swatches Selection' command from the Swatches panel’s flyout menu.

    In both cases new gradient stops will be spread uniformly, using the current order of swatches in the panel (not the order of selection).

    If you have artwork selected in the document while doing this, the gradient will be automatically applied to it.

    Please try the feature and comment back.

    Have a feature so that you can select a number of solid coloured shapes and drag and drop them to form an instant multicoloured gradient based on the select colours. The spacing defaults equally between the gradient sliders. Option to save new gradient into swatches or directly apply to the next selected object.
