Symptom
Bar/Column chart colors differ in edit and view modes in SAP Analytics Cloud.
Environment
SAP Analytics Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Login to SAP Analytics Cloud.
- Create a new story.
- Insert a Bar/Column chart.
>> Notice the difference in colors between Edit and View modes.
Cause
- The color discrepancy between Edit and View modes occurs because the "Color Sync" feature does not guarantee specific colors for dimension members. Instead, it assigns colors as quickly as possible, which can result in different color assignments depending on the load order of widgets.
- This discrepancy arises because the widgets may finish loading in a different order in Edit and View modes.
Resolution
- To ensure consistent color assignment for dimension members across both Edit and View modes, use the "Assign Colors" feature.
- This feature allows you to manually specify which colors are assigned to which dimension members, ensuring consistency regardless of load order.
