Chart data label auto change color disabled in design theme

Hi,

I am new to SAC and I unfortunately disabled the auto color change of data labels when I selected a color for my data labels in my design theme. Back then I did not know that I would disable that function that way. Of course I have now the problem that in some charts the data labels are not readable as the background color is sometimes bright and sometimes dark. And for some unknown reason SAC does not allow you to change the color of different data labels to different colors in the same chart.

Does anybody know how i can revert the selected color in the design theme so that the auto color function works again? Normally there is a reset button to reset the color changes. However this button does not exist in the design theme. I really do not want to start my design theme from the beginning as I have already made so many changes to it.

I hope someone can help me.

Hi,

If I understand your question correctly, are you looking for this color reset button?

Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,

thanks for your answer. This is really strange because in my version of SAC the button is missing.

I would have hoped there are other ways to restore the auto color change, as the reset button is missing.

Kind regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan, you may try clicking the "Save" button and choosing to apply the change. Then, you should be able to get the "Reset" button.

Hi Jason, that does not seem to work either. There is still no reset button for the color of the data lables. However it is kinda strange, that there are reset buttons in the design theme for other color preferences.

Hi Stefan, could you try starting from scratch? Create a new story, then create a new theme, change the chart data label, and apply the changes. Then, check whether the reset button is available.

Hi Jason, sry for the late answer. I now also tried to create a new design theme to see if the reset button appears. However that did not help. It is still missing. I think the only solution is to start a new theme from scratch and to not change the color of the data labels. That is really unfortunate and disappointing.

Hi Stefan, Did you save the theme and apply it, then open the theme dialog to check the reset button? It is quite strange; you should probably create a SAP support ticket so that the support team can assist you.
