Is there a way to change the color values of a global color in Illustrator with e.g. an javasript script in multiple documents? Let's say I have 100 documents which use all the same named global color and I want to adjust this one in all documents at the same time without having to open all documents manually. I did not find a solution, yet, but maybe someone has an idea, how this could work?

For a simplest case you can use this:
var folder = Folder("d:/_");
var files = folder.getFiles("*.ai");
for (var i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
var doc = app.open(files[i]);
var my_color = doc.swatches.getByName("color");
my_color.color.spot.color.cyan = 100;
my_color.color.spot.color.magenta = 0;
my_color.color.spot.color.yellow = 100;
my_color.color.spot.color.black = 0;
doc.save();
doc.close();
}
It gets all ai
files from folder d:\_
. Changes the color with name color
into the CMYK green (100,0,100,0). And saves all the files.
