Gantt Chart View in Reports
Please help! I understand that we can't customize the gantt chart bars anymore if it is a parent row but why am I getting random colors on the bar view in my report? I would prefer it remain grey. The first picture is the Smartsheet and the second one is the report pulling from the sheet.
