Symptom
- Bar Chart color change.
- Color Palette for Chart changes on it's own.
- When modifying anything on a specific Story, the color of the Bar Chart changes in SAP Analytics Cloud.
For example: The bar colors changes from blue, to orange.
Environment
- SAP Analytics Cloud 2024.2.8
Reproducing the Issue
- In SAP Analytics Cloud, create a Story.
- Add a new Page with a Bar Chart.
- Set the color for the Bar Chart. For example: blue.
- On the first Page of the Story, make any changes, and save the Story. For example: Add a Text widget.
- View the Story, select the Page containing the charts.
- Notice the Bar Chart color changed. For example: It changed from blue, to orange.
Cause
- Color Sync does not guarantee the same colors between all the charts.
- Color Sync match the palette across all the charts with the same dimension, but the actual coloring is done on a measure/dimension pairing basis.
- The actual coloring may change based off of it coloring something else first due to timing, all that can be guaranteed is consistency between the measure/dimension pairings.
Resolution
- To have charts to be consistently one color while leveraging color sync, create a new palette with only the single color you'd like everything in the color sync to be colored as.
