Unable to Change Shape Fill Color on a Bar Graph when using a Derived Element in a Dossier in MicroStrategy Web 10.10

Starting with the release of Strategy ONE (March 2024), dossiers are also known as dashboards.
Troubleshooting
Unable to Change Shape Fill Color on a Bar Graph when using a Derived Element in a Dossier in Strategy Web 10.10
Within Strategy Web 10.10, some of our users have been experiencing issues with the shape fill color on a bar graph. When users create a bar graph when using a derived element in the dossier, it appears the shape fill color will not change within the dossier itself. For example, the user might change a fill color for the attribute region (containing derived elements of NorthEast, etc.) within the color selector. However, when attempting to make the change, the color of the element is not reflected.

Steps to Reproduce
 

1. Create a Base Report in Strategy Tutorial project.
2. Make sure the Report has Month, Region, and Revenue.
3. Create derived elements for the Region attribute
4. Create a New Dossier using the base report as a dataset.
5. Create a new bar chart.
6. Add Month to the horizontal axis.
7. Next, add Revenue to the Vertical Axis.
8. Add Region to the Color By.
9. Right-click a derived element in the Bar Chart > Shape Fill Color.
10. Change the color to any other color.
11. Notice the change of color for the element is not reflected in the dossier.

This is a known defect in Strategy 10.10 specific to the use of a derived element in a bar chart dossier. The Strategy development team is currently working to resolve the issue with the shape fill color.
