I am trying to duplicate an action list to process a different set of files. The only thing I need to change is the stroke color that Pitstop targets for several adjustments. In my action list, I have several "Select Color" actions which are set to "Stroke" and "User Swatch." The user swatch is set to our swatch color "kisscut". I need to change that color to "thrucut", but I cannot figure out *how*.

Re: Select Color / Stroke / User Swatch
I managed to solve this by grabbing a free trial of Pitstop Pro and editing the action list there. Not sure if there's a way to do it in Pitstop Server though.
Re: Select Color / Stroke / User Swatch
Indeed, you cannot browse the user's colors database from PitStop Server. If the "Select color" uses "User Swatch" as set in PitStop Pro, you won't be able to change to another "User Swatch" from PitStop Server and using PitStop Pro was the way to go.
That said, you could avoid this by using a different action, namely "Select spot color". There, you have options like "Select spot color by name" where you can change in either Pro and Server, even using a variable if needed.
Of course the main difference is that "Select spot color" will select filled objects as well, but you can limit selection to stroked objects only.
