I have a report where y-axis shows count, x-axis is date histogram and for sub aggregation, I split lines by a term which is a field in elastic search. Is there any way I can assign colors to the lines in line chart before hand and save it in the report definition.

Hi there,

If you click on a key in the legend in the top right corner, you should be able to select a color for the line. See screenshot below (it's for Area Chart, but Line Chart should offer the same functionality).

Does this help?

Thanks,  
CJ
