howdytom Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I am looking for a way to set the colour name automatically based on colour value in Affinity Designer. When you change a colour value in a Indesign document, it automatically changes the colour name accordingly within the swatches window. It's a huge timesaver. When you add a colour to the swatches panel, Affinity applies the colour value name. However when I change a existing colour within the swatches panel, it shows the previously colour value. It looks like I have to manually change the colour value. How can I do that in Affinity Designer or Affinity Publisher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted April 11, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 11, 2019 Hi Howdytom, As far as I'm aware there is no way to do this I'm afraid. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howdytom Posted April 11, 2019 Author Share Posted April 11, 2019 Callum, thanks for your reply. Current workaround: Prior adding a new color, always delete the color swatch or rename the existing one. I don't think a checkbox would be required. If the color name has not been renamed, it should be updated based on current colour value. I hope this makes sense. It happened to me multiple times that I was using a previous color value. Any chance that we can move this thread to the Feature Requests section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
