The macro version of Fill doesn't allow you to change the colour of it, despite there being an option in the Macro panel to do so

Was trying to create a macro for cleaning up a selection and filling it with colour. While doing so, I noticed that Fill had an option to allow the change of colour of the fill when you activated it. However, when I finally tried it out, it did not work at all. Then I noticed that the Colour panel was overriding the macro option by filling it with the colour currently set as the primary.

Hi, have you tried using the Edit>Fill, when the panel comes up select custom colour...this works for me on a Mac. It doesn't work if I try picking a colour from the Colour Panel or selecting Primary or Secondary colours in the Fill panel

Thank you, that actually worked! It was so confusing since all the fill options are named the same and have the exact same options in the Macro panel. My report should be probably rebranded as a UI/UX issue rather than a bug of the features themselves.

I am just glad it worked for you, I came across this issue a while ago and tried different methods until I tried the custom colour option.

@MurfeeI appreciate it! Have been able to create some pretty nice macros now thanks to your help. Might share them at some point once I feel like they are tried and tested. 🥳
