Save series color customization in chart editor
In the chart editor, I am customizing the series (in this case, feature statuses) colors such that different groups of statuses are represented by certain colors (yellow, orange, green and blue). When a new status is added to the chart (because a feature has been moved into that status, not because someone added a new status to the workflow), it displaces the coloration that I previously set for the other statuses. I would prefer that the new status is assigned a new color without impacting the color I've already set for the other statuses. In addition, I would like for the statuses (in the series) to save the color setting so that if a status disappears and reappears from time to time (due to features moving in and out of the status) I won't lose the customization I set previously.
See screenshots of the same chart on 4/17 and 4/23. The "new" status is Pending Dev Review in the 4/23 screenshot. This should be orange, but it shouldn't have changed Ready for Development to Green (from orange), Ready for Release to Blue (from green), and Released to Red (from blue). I have since changed it to orange and would like for that color scheme for the entire series to be saved as is.

Charts in Aha! software are now easier to configure with a streamlined aesthetic — so you can visualize your data exactly the way you want. You can now sync the colors of each chart's data series with the colors used in your Aha! data — such as status, records, and tags — to ensure consistency.

Love it! Thank you!
Totally agree with everyone else. This feature is essential to allow us to have fully dynamic reports which don't require manual review/update on a reoccuring basis. Please enable this ASAP.
Ideally the charts could be configured to use the colors associated with the included data element rather than statically assigning them based on "sort order".
On a related note, for fields that have a set number of options (Status fields, Tags, Dropdown Lists) it would be helpful to show all the possible selections even if records matching the current filter don't use those selection. I say this is related, because it would help minimize the "color-shift" when an option "falls out" of the report. It would have the added benefit of displaying all possible options in the legend regardless of whether they show up in the report.
If this would be more appropriate as a separate idea request, I am happy to create one.
Your charts are really helpful. However, we have a standard for colors - Bad things always need to display red for example. Charts are something we report to our executive team and they are beginning to be cumbersome to constantly update them making them not as useful.
If you want to have your charts being used, then this is a feature that I really feel will be something that will make your customers happy immediately.
Agree! If status is being displayed - allow the user to select the status color scheme! So simple and straightforward.
My color settings are discarded for random colors every time a new status appears, and even then, they don't align from 1 report to the next. Worse, the colors reset when I refresh w/out even changing the dataset. I cannot believe this is working as intended as it's a major fail to be able to select colors but the product doesn't use them.
