Illustrations with editable stroke

I often use icons with editable stroke, so I can make the stroke thinner/thicker. But often when I download icons that are marked with "editable stroke", the icon does not have a stroke, but instead the stroke is a fill-colour that I can't change. Then I have to find a new icon - and I have lost one credit by downloading a illustration that I can't use. It's pretty annoying - so it would be nice if you could make sure the icons are with editable stroke, when the pictures are tagged with the text. Here is an example:  FIL #:  357338138

    This is highly irritating to me as well 😞  I wish there was a way to leave purchaser comments / reviews on specific files. I have run into this problem with several files such as #404559074

      As @Contributor1 stated, there is no easy solution to this. Leaving comments would also be a problem, as people with no or little knowledge of Illustrator would leave wrong comments.

        Hello, It looks like the stroke is set to 0 but this can be adjusted in the Properties tab.

          Yes I know - but that is not the problem. You can only make the line thicker that way - not thinner, which would be possible, if the illustration was made as a stroke instead of a filled out object. An editable stroke means that the illustration is made as a stroke, so you can change it, so it for instance has the same stroke as other illustrations - also when you change the size of the illustration.

            I understand the issue now and not sure I have a solution. I also can't guarantee you won't find more assets like this. I've granted you a replacement license and will send the asset to the content team for review. Thank you for the report and sorry for the problem with the asset.
