    @Eimantas That worked! Thank you. I do find this functionality strange, though. I would like the actual objects within a group to change color when using the eye dropper tool.

    @Eimantas This does not appear to be my issue. The appearance panel is not showing multiple fills so I don't think the fill is being hidden by a stack of fills. I've been using Illustrator for years and this appears to be new behavior to me. Perhaps a setting somehow got changed but I have not been able to locate a setting to restore previous functionality.

    Sure can, @Egor. Thanks!

    I am just now experiencing this bug and I'm disappointed to see it has been happening to people for 5+ years. This is extremely frustrating. I hate to have to switch to a new tool but it's looking like I'm going to have to. What's the next core feature that will break and not have a fix for 5+ years?

    I have tried toggling the various eye dropper settings and nothing worked. I also found the checkbox menu for editing settings buggy itself (if I hover over a setting it collapses the dropdown).
