Hi! I have made an enum and given a certain color to the different values. Is there any way I can data bind this color to use it as background color for a container?

Hi! I believe you cannot databind enum colors on container backgrounds yet. You may use enum colours for icons and charting per now.

But I’ll register a feature request on that!
