Is there an Action/Variable that can check for part of a spot colour name.
For example a file contains a spot colour called “cutterguide”
Could you search for part of the name “cut” and replace it with another spot colour name.

This should be possible with the "Rename spot color"-action.
By using the regular expression:
you can target spot colours with "cut" in the name.

By using the regular expression:
Code: Select all
.*cut.*
