Hi,

I want to change the text color of the data table cell, based on the index filed value for that cell. I saw couple of old questions around that and saying that it was not supported in Kibana at that time. May I know is it still the same for Kibana 7.4 version as well? If not can you please give some hints on how to do that?

Thanks

> Hi Joe. I was looking for the same thing that rrr123 was looking for. Isn't the following setting supposed to do that? visualization:colorMapping (Default: {"Count":"#6eadc1"}) Maps values to specified colors within visualizations I was never able to get it to work though!!! Don
