Hi all,  
When I edit a vertical bar vizualisation in kibana, the histogram colors reset to the default value each time I edit the visualization.

Before I click on the edit button (from the dashboard view)

After the click, I obtain the following graph with the default colors.

Is there a way to avoid this behavior?

Thank you for any help.

Hello,

I tried to reproduce this behavior in 7.16.3 and couldn't. What version exactly are you using?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I thought it was on every 7;1x because I used a 7.13, 7.14, 7.15 and even I still have the problem on a 7.16.2 currently. I will try your version.

Hi,  
After testing, I still have the problem on a 7.16.3 and even on a 7.17.00.

If your create an aggregation with a vertical bar and save it and you decide to add another metric for instance, then you edit your visualization, and add another Y-axis, there you reproduce the problem.
