Hi hendy_5450
What kind of object is the top item in your group? If the top object is a e.g. symbol, then the Clipping mask will be greyed.

Hello @Ka-Tja,

Thanks for sharing the screen recording. I tried replicating this behavior on my end but could not. Would you mind confirming the OS/Illustrator version and if Illustrator behaves this way with all files? If not, share a sample file here after uploading it to a file-sharing service so I can better assist you.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi @hendy_5450,

The option is grayed out when no objects are selected. Ensure you have selected the objects on the artboard where you want to apply the mask. For more information, visit: Clipping Masks in Illustrator.
