How can I keep the colors in the calendar app view from changing when data is changed?

Rick_Bailey

I built a calendar view from a report (no pre-selected colors assigned), which has primary and secondary grouping. The colors assigned were fine, however whenever the in-line data was changed through the detail view that pops up when you click on a calendar bar, all the colors for the entire view would change to other colors. any suggestions?

Hi @Rick_Bailey

Are Highlight Changes active?

Was that it?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@Andrée Starå thanks for the response! The changes weren't being highlighted like they would be in a data sheet. When a change on the detail window that pops up on the calendar app was made, it would change the the different sections on the calendar (groupings and in-row) to completely different random colors. Would that still be caused by the highlighting feature? I don't know if it matters, but these particular calendars are driven off of reports vs. the datasheet itself.

Thanks!

would love to know why this happens and how to stop it, colours are automatic and that is ok but i want for example Movies = Green, TV = Blue and Other = Pink, but if i move forward months the colours swap and change. There is no design reason or rationale for this to happen - and my calendar customers are not happy!
