Is there a possibility to create tonal values from a spotcolor?

If I create tonal values from the Spotcolor, then the individual tone values are created - but converted into process colors. But it would be very practical if these tonal values were defined as a percentage of the spot color. (So print density, ink application)

thx

Unless there was an improvement in V2 it is impossible and discussed in the forum a few times. Not only spot colour tints also RGB or CMYK tints may result for any of the "Add Chord to Swatch" options in the Colours Panel as swatches in a different colour space/mode than expected.

A bug report for CMYK tint swatches in macOS: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/search/&tags=afd-3236

For spot colours it is also known that Affinity doesn't allow to mix them, e.g. to create a colour swatch made of two spot colours.
Also known irritations with swatch & colour definitions may be related.
