MDA dropdown list default colors

When creating dropdown list values in the MDA, all of the value colors default to white.

When you then go to report on those dropdown values and use a pie chart or bar graph, with the background of our report builder being white as well, you can't see any of the data points. If a customer was unaware of that default, and then went to report, the report would appear to just be completely blank.

My thought here is that at the very least we have the default color be anything besides white, or more effectively have the color assignment change as each individual dropdown value is added.

    100000% agree with this suggestion. I've had multiple admins come to me with a reporting problem ("this report shows nothing") and it turns out it's because of MDA dropdown colors defaulting to white. Nobody changed them because they didn't realize that it mattered.

    I just default the background to black... I'm kidding, you can't do that 🙂

    Good Idea, Tom.
