Convert palette to spot colors

[sdrum]

In Illustrator I can convert a whole palette to Pantone/spot color. Is there a way to do the same in Affinity Designer? The only option I have found to convert the whole image palette to spot color is to convert each color separately, which is very time consuming.

Thank you.

Hi Sdrum

Unfortunately there's not currently an option to convert a whole palette to be spot colours currently, each colour has to be done individually. I'll move this thread to feature requests for our devs to consider adding in a future update!

How can you convert ANY existing colour into a Spot colour? Seems to me you can only set an existing colour to become Overprint.  Spot colours need to be set up at the start as Global colours - unless I've (hopefully) missed something.

Can't you just use the Colour Picker from the window which pops up when you select Add Global Colour and then just choose a colour you already have in the document? You just check the Spot checkbox. Or am I missing something?
