Chart 1 is without Small Multiples to show summary. Chart 2 is with Small Multiples to show by country. However, the color for legend is different though the same field is used for “Group/Color”. Is this a bug of QuickSight?

Likewise for Line Chart.

“Edit field colors…” for Year will not work in long run as value will be dynamic and subject to changes.

Hi @lbl,
This definitely seems to be a bit of a bug. I tested this out as well; after editing the field colors for the actual field being used in the color section, the colors did not change on my small multiples visual but did on the single:

Then, I went to the ‘Edit’ → ‘Themes’. Opened up one to edit, after opening, it reset the small multiples colors as well (didn’t actually change any of the theme settings or colors):

While not ideal, see if that work around works for you as well but I agree that this is an odd bug.

Hi @Brett
I am having different behaviour results.

  1. Edit field colors will change the color for both charts (with and without small multiples)
  2. Edit →Themes does not help.

Possible to get QuickSight team for a resolution?
Thanks.

Hi @lbl,
Looking over your current 3 posts regarding small multiples, I agree that there seem to be some bugs going on with them. To get additional assistance from the QS support team and submit a bug, the best route to go about this would be to create a support ticket.

I will mention the same on your other post as each have to do with small multiples, I would suggest you include them all within one support ticket.

hi @Brett
I am under Basic Support Plan and unable to log a support ticket.
Unlikely to upgrade the Plan as it may incur additional cost.

Is there other way to post the issue for attention and resolution?

Thanks.

Hi @lbl,
While there is no other direct way to log a support ticket, I’ve relayed this information to our AWS contact in the hopes that it will be passed along to the support team.

As I’ve tagged this as a feature request and sent along the information to our contact, I’ll close this topic for the time being. If you have any additional questions or comments, feel free to create a new post in the community.
