Legends for combo chart is not showing when the custom color are used.
i've used rgb() to apply to 3 different measures as requested by my users, however its not showing even.

Version: Qliksense Novermber 2023 Patch 5.

Have enabled legends

However the legends aren't showing in the chart.

This is working as designed. Legend does not show when expressions are used for colours

cheers

Is there a work around for this? I'm actually quite tempted to insert an image in to show the legend under the chart itself.

It depends what you are trying to do and what your legend is.

My workarounds are:

use emoji in Subtitle as legend
if conditional colour is just based on value and can be derived using segments i use them
use of image - just like you suggested

cheers
