CSS nth-child not working in dashboard

I have three versions of Splunk (7.3.1.1, 7.3.3 and 8.1.4)

The following CSS in a dashboard works in two of them, 7.3.1.1 and 8.1.4

 

#level_row_header .dashboard-cell:nth-child(1) {
  width:22% !important;
}

 

I suspect it is that the 7.3.3 version has been upgraded from a 7.0.2 version in the past. I am unable to work out what it is that is preventing this from working.

In the 8.1.4 version in the browser inspect window I see this

but in the 7.3.3 I have this

bowesmana_1-1623470430675.png

so for whatever reason, it's not picking up the cascading class definition.

It's the same dashboard, same css, same app

Any ideas?

Where are you defining the css? If it is in a hidden panel in the SimpleXML, this works differently in 7.3.3. You need an empty element in the html

    <panel depends="$stayhidden$">
      <html>
        <div/>
        <style>
          #level_row_header .dashboard-cell:nth-child(1) {
            width:22% !important;
          }
        </style>
      </html>
    </panel>

Thanks for the reply @ITWhisperer - I ended up upgrading the box to 7.3.9 and it worked after that, but good to know. Yes, it is in CSS in a hidden panel.
