Area Map Data Colors Not Working

Is anyone else experiencing a bug in Power BI Service where the selectors for Data Colors (in particular the "Diverging" switch) will not allow you to make any selections? The switch allows you to click it, but immediately reverts to the "off" setting, rendering it useless. This also happens when trying to select different colors.

Hi @pstewart,

How do you create the filled map? Based on my test, when we create filled map without Legend, "Diverging" switch works as expected and I can set different colors for different areas(as shown in the following screenshot).

However, when we add legend in the filled map, all areas are overridden with only one color even when we switch “Diverging” to on(as shown in the following screenshot). In this case, please remove category from Legend of the filled map as the legend field in a filled map doesn't make sense. And we are not able to create different diverging color scale for different categories in one filled map.
