3785971 - Charts become linked using the same color Dimension/Measure

Symptom

Charts with same dimension/measure color synchronized when changing palette in any chart of them.

Environment

SAP Analytical Cloud

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the tenant
  2. Create a story
  3. Create chart “A” with a color dimension/measure
  4. Copy and paste chart “A” into a new page (chart “B”) 
    Or create a new chart “B” with the same color dimension/measure as chart “A”
  5. Change the color palette of chart “A”
    >> The color palette of chart “B” is affected by the new color palette of chart “A” (or vice versa)

Cause

styling is synchronized in both charts

Resolution

When you synchronize charts with the same color dimension, all the charts in that story will use the same color palette.

If you want to use different color palettes for some charts, you can either change the color dimension or do the following:

  1. Select one of the charts.
  2. In the Designer, select "Builder".
  3. Find your Color dimension and then choose "More" > Color Sync > Unsync Colors.
