More support for enum colors!

[oyvind.byhring]

I like to assign icons and colors to my enum values, but very rarely get to use them because there’s not support for it in the Create UI.

Here for example, I’d like to use the color assigned to the enum used to fill the cell of a table to determine the background color of that cell:

Instead I have to add conditional props based on the content of the cell for each enum value.

In general, being able to data bind colors would be a great addition

Agree. I believe allowing to data bind colors would be a great improvement. There are a lot of questions related to this, and I believe I first time flagged it as feature request long before this forum existed.

I get much of my data from various APIs, and many of them offer HEX/RGB color values as part for the data. I often find myself having to use coded components just to do simple things as color coding labels or graphs according to the API data. It would have been so much easier if I could just bind the color.

So I add my vote for this!

Use the Icon color of an ENUM in the UI

Hi, I am trying to use the color from A in the UI, however I have tried all the options in B and none of the settings sets the color of the icon to the color of the ENUM. Please help. I have plans to use this icon many places so creating a list of conditional formatting for the color of the icon is not an option. Further I would also then need to add X amount of conditions for X amount of options in the ENUM and X amount of colors must then also be added in Themes. In addition there is no easy…

This exists as a feature request internally already, I will be sure to update the request to show that there are new wishes from Community regarding its implementation.
