Importing Swatches Not Working?

[EllenLegend]

Version: Adobe Animate 23.0.2

Hi everyone, I use swatches very often in my animations because I use a lot of gradients in my work and need to reuse them often. Normally I would export my swatches as a "Animate Color Table File" using the "Save Colors" button in the sandwich menu in the Swatches tab. Then I would click "Replace Colors" (add colors usually works also) and the saved swatches would appear in my new project. However, now, I am still able to create and export swatches but I cannot import them into my project! I click the file I want and literally nothing happens, no message appears, it just closes the file select window. I have tried rolling back to an older version of Adobe Animate but it isn't working (unless I go really far back into the past but I don't want to do that!!) This is really important to me and I need to get this fixed, does anyone know how to fix this or is anyone else having a similar issue? Thank you!!

Just checked and can confirm that in AA 23.0.2 the CLR file does not load.

This must be a bug.

(It works fine in AA 22.0.8)

A simple workaround might be to use a FLA that already has your palette as a starting point.

Just delete all content and keep it as some kind of a 'template'.

To add: This is possibly another regression:

what i'm currently doing is paint one empty frame with  every color (just one single brushstroke for each color). Then copy/paste the frame on the project i need.
