[triptraptresko]

Trying to set graph colors with fieldColors in options, in Dashboard Studio.

Tried to set them in both dataSources and Visualizations to no avail. What am i doing wrong?

Tested on Splunk Cloud Version: 8.2.2203.2.

Hi @triptraptresko !

If you were using the older viz.line type visualization, you would be correct about using the option fieldColors - however, you're using the newer splunk.line type, which uses an option called seriesColorsByField to accomplish the same thing. 

Try swapping the name of the options and it should work!
