troubleshooting colors in Calendar App
hello,
I have built some good looking roadmaps with the Calendar App. They are integrated within dashboards, really great tool.
I have one issue though; I went through some older posts on the SS Community and I believe this issue was not troubleshot, although raised (ref1, ref2).
My case : in the screenshot "end goal", you can see that I would like to achieve ; the colors of the first 2 columns (defined in Data grouping from tab 3) should match the one in the calendar part (or vice-versa, I don't mind as long as I can decide by myself the color).
I have tried to do so by using my sheet as a source and a report too, with the columns "Phase" and "Status" being as free text and dropdown list (I tried all combinations of options, no chance to get it to work as I expect).
Here is the configuration of the Calendar :
No config done on the tab 4 has any impact on colors, based on my tests.
Does anyone has any idea on how to get these colors match ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance !
Best regards,
Florian

Aha! Thank you for this, I was able to replicate this when the data grouping was done on a column that only had numeric values:
I adjusted the dropdown column to have text instead of numbers, and now the colours are reflected properly:
Would you be able to change your numbers to contain text and see if that then helps?
Thanks!

Err this looks like the phase is confused what colors its suppose to be (obviously)
try changing tab 5 - Time & Design "Color by View" to status instead of phase.

hi,
thanks for the advice ; unfortunately, I tired but this does not work.
This look like this :
in phase 2 for example, all modules should be in orange.
Any other idea for testing ?

I'm unable to replicate this - my tab 5 setting colours update to the colour I select.
Can you try not assigning any column at all to that field? If you don't set a colour in the "Colour by Column" selection, it should default to the Data Grouping colours.

thanks for trying. I did remove the selection as you said
the outcome is that the colors match between the phase column and the swimlanes
but they are not the ones I selected in tab 3 unfortunately.
Phase 1 should be blue but it's yellow.
Strange.
