In Illustrator it works well though:

I'll get a ticket written up for the team to see if they can apply the value during scroll/swipe.

@jenkmeister17177426  Thanks for your reply.

The Properties Panel currently applies updates only when they are committed to the value.

Will it ever be fixed?

If you want instant update, click and hold over the value and then move your mouse/trackpad left or right.

Unfortunately this method doesn't work in Illustrator.

I'm trying to create a smooth workflow for switching between Adobe apps, mainly After Effects and Illustrator. It's a bit challenging, to be honest. The Adobe's apps don't seem to be consistent. I've already wrote many posts on the forum about this issue.
