Data colors do not save
Further testing reveals that this still happens with version 2.52.4921.682.
Another odd behavior that's associated:
- Edit line chart data colors
- Save and close
- Open PBIX
- See that data colors have changed
- Change to a different report tab and back again, and the colors change again
Also, the colors don't seem to change if I use a color from the pallette. If I add a custom color, that seems to cause the colors to change when reopening.
Saw this in another thread:
Colors are selected via the following heuristics
Static measure series will grab colors from the theme starting as position zero. There is no cross-visual sharing of colors for static series.
Dynamic series will use a first-come first-served shared color palette for category. So a specific category will always be the same color (e.g. red) on all visuals. However, depending on load timing, it may be green on all visuals the next time you (or someone else) view it.Now this makes sense, although I would fully expect that if I manually change a color, that it would take precedence over any "heuristics".
