Formatting App objects based on data table values

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2

Hello everyone,

 

I’m building a contingency planning app which produces a series of action cards for people to use in the case or emergencies.

 

What I’m trying to do is to set the text and fill colours of objects within the pages to a pre-set colour defined in my data table.  I’ve tried pointing the fill colour to the table data (using AC_select_list.selected.Gallery_fill_colour, where the Gallery_fill_colour field is an extra column within the data table defining the action card and has the desired RGBA colour code)

 

Is this actually possible as most of the conditional formatting I’ve seen have concerned IF conditions and have defined colours within the formula itself

    Hi @Nealconyard 

     

    If the color values are coming from a datatable, then it is possible that it is identified as a string and not color value. I will suggest using variable or collections to return the color value. You can use RGBA(colorcode,1) to setup the color of your choice. This way it will be recognized properly and you can use it at all the Color type properties.

     

     

    Hope this Helps!
