KB289020: Graph subtypes (Stacked, Absolute, Percent) are applied to all metrics on combination graph in MicroStrategy Web

SYMPTOM:
In Strategy Web, when use Combination Graph in Graph Report, Report Service document or Dashboard, user have only one option to choose the subtype. Graph subtypes such as Stacked, Absolute, Percent are applied to all graph types with all metrics.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Follow below steps to reproduce with Strategy Tutorial project:

1. Create report: Year, Category, Profit, Cost;
2. Create a graph report/document/dashboard with a combination graph
3. Format Cost as bars while Profit as lines.
4. Change subtype, note currently we can only make metrics as both absolute or both stacked. It is not possible to make bars to be stacked while the lines to be absolute.

 
CAUSE:
This is currently by design behavior. An enhancement request has been logged to add this feature into Strategy Web.
