Can't make a global color swatch of an already tinted swatch

[mtcte]

I used to be able to create a global color swatch, then set that color swatch to a certain percentage (tint) and then make a new swatch of that. That way, I could quickly choose a tint of my swatch without going to the original swatch and fiddling with the tint slider. I could also then set a tint of THAT swatch. Now when I try to do that, I can't make a new swatch of a tinted version of a swatch. It doesn't give me the option to create a new global swatch of the tint; it just adds a duplicate of the swatch to the palette (first attached jpg...it's showing the tinted swatch with the original swatch to the left, with duplicate version of tint swatch). When I click on the color palette flyout and click on the color tab, instead of seeing my tinted color at 100%, I see my original swatch with the percentage of my tint (second attached jpg). In years of working with Illustrator, I've never had this problem. Does anyone know what's going on?

In your second screenshot you see a CMYK icon you can click on and create a new swatch.

Or you can set set up the number of steps in the options of the Color Guide panel, select the resulting swatches and click to add them to your Swatches panel.
