Charts do not respect / adhere to XML

Posted on by CS-13081436-0

I have defined some charts for our users to use in Dynamics Sales, and they are all in the bright neon pastel which is really abrasive to look at. I am trying to change the palette used in the chards and I cannot get the colors to change from the neon pastels.

I have tried to update the XML file using the XRMToolboxtools, and by importing an xml file that I edited in vscode, and all charts still default to this neon pastel theme. I can see the file edits being reflected in Dynamics, but the graphic rendered is not respecting the new xml.

I have changed the Chart tag as suggested, trying the predefined palettes and different color codes, and I cannot get the color theme to change.

<Chart CustomColorOverride="true" Palette="SeaGreen">
<Chart Palette="None" PaletteCustomColors="59,121,183; 153,235,237; 0,206,211; 0,183,195; 219,57,35; 226,97,79;244,192,185;">

Any guidance on fixing the charts would be appreciated.

Charts do not respect / adhere to XML

A while back Microsoft changed how the XML works and it defaults to a new style of colouring for charts.

However, you can override this. I believe you need to add the following variable to the <chart> field in the XML:

CustomColorOverride="true"

So, e.g. <Chart CustomColorOverride="true" Palette="None" PaletteCustomColors="170,24,44; 65,64,66; 215,164,97; 60,180,229;">

I think from your description you need to remove the first <chart> field line and include it all in one <chart> tag line.

This worked for me when I ran into this a while back. Hopefully for you, too! If so, please confirm :)
