Hi. This question has been asked in so many ways with so many different answers, that it is difficult to parse out through search. I figured it may be easier to simply ask the question for my use case and get a clear answer. So, I apologize for the over-used question.
I am looking to maintain persistent colors for dimension values throughout my visualizations. Here is what I tried already:
Persistent colors based on load order:
I determined my load order by adding a field to a page and sorting it by load order. Using that, I started on my first chart and assigned colors as I needed based on that load order. I then checked "Persistent Colors" and saved. The color pattern I chose was applied on a number of charts. Interestingly, it only applied to some charts using those dimensions, but not all. I fixed the missing ones manually and thought I was set.
When I reloaded my application, all of my colors changed again. Clearly, this isn't the solution I thought it was.
I've got two sets of dimensions: Region and Group. I have the RGB, transparency, and gradient rules I want to set for each item in both groups. How can I assign these colors to values, regardless of load order, value, or selection? In other words, if I want the NA region to be blue on every chart using NA, every time, and whether I have any selections or not, what would be the best way to accomplish this?
