Dashboard Widget Title Color Changes When Copied to Another Dashboard

Pat Canning

In the past, I'm certain I've been able to copy widgets from one dashboard to another and have their title-bar formatting, particularly the background color, remain intact. Now the copies are all losing their colors and defaulting to a pale blue.

Fix has been applied. Please let me know if you are still having issues copying and pasting widget into existing or new dashboards and losing formatting.

You might need to refresh your browser or the desktop app (if you are using it).

Thanks,

This is also happening to me and it's obnoxious. The whole reason to copy a chart/widget/metric is to preserve the formatting so you don't have to change it from default every single time. Not only is this happening from one dashboard to another but within the same dashboard.

Do you have a "Theme" selected for your dashboard?

hi @Pat Canning and @Scholar Solutions,

i am 99.99% sure it has to do with the newly introduced themes in Dashbaord. I remember when copying widgets before it was always the same colour. Maybe you can open the post in New Product Idea section to fix it.

No Theme selected. When pasting it, it looks like it auto-defaults to "Standard Theme" though rather than preserving your pre-formatting from the widget you're copying.

I noticed this too. It's very annoying when you want to paste the widget with the same formatting as the source. There is a theme selected on my target dashboard but I never selected it.

I also notice this happening and it would be nice to create your own theme so all dashboard can use our company branding schematic.

Thanks @Barak Schriger. Any idea on when this may get resolved? This issue is even causing widgets on an the same dashboard to change colors when pasting. And of course I have a number of widgets to create with a specific color scheme that are going to constantly change every time I paste a widget.
