It would be really nice to be able to adjust dashlet chart color schemes as an administrator without having to go to a developer to code it. Some of the defualt color scheme's do not have enough variation.

Hi Leaya, that would definitely be helpful! There is actually an open enhancement request for this feature: bug #46555. If you want to share your desire for the feature, you could contact Support so they can add your request for tracking purposes. Then Sugar will have a more accurate understanding of how many people are interested.

I was looking into an issue where some chart colors were the same for multiple dropdown options in a list. I was thinking it may be a customization affecting the issue, but what I found looks to be some new functionality introduced as part of the upgrade to 14.1.
It looks like on that upgrade, a new directory was added to the Extension framework:
./custom/Extension/application/Ext/DropdownsStyle
What I found in that directory is a file for each dropdown list in the format of <dropdown list name>_style.php (e.g. call_status_dom_style.php) which has a color designation for each dropdown entry defined:
<?php
// created: 2024-09-27 20:27:37
$app_dropdowns_style['call_status_dom_style']=array (
'Scheduled' =>
array (
'backgroundColor' => '#517bf8',
),
'Held' =>
array (
'backgroundColor' => '#00e0e0',
),
'Canceled' =>
array (
'backgroundColor' => '#36b0ff',
),
);
I confirmed that adding / removing entries from a dropdown list modifies the respective file. While it isn't UI-accessible, it does at least provide a safer way to modify chart colors where you are grouping by dropdown lists.
Rafael Fernandes - are there plans to add information about this to the Extension framework documentation in the developer guide?
