Advanced/conditional formatting to change text color in list

dwold

I am trying to assign text color based on attributes for an event_type field. For some reason, it doesn't recognize the colors that are assigned. See anything that I am missing?

var eventColor = $datapoint.event_type

if(eventColor == 'Incident Activation'){
    return {textColor:'#ADFF8C'}
} else if(eventColor == 'Discussion-Based Exercise'){
    return {textColor:'#FFC379'}
} else if(eventColor == 'Operations-Based Exercise'){
    return {textColor:'#71C1FD'}
} else {
    return {textColor:'#FD7F7F'}
}

return {
  textColor: '',
  backgroundColor: '',
  separatorColor:'#adadad',
  selectionColor: '#fcfc86',
  selectionTextColor: '#fcfc86',
   // attributes: {
    // attribute1: '',
    // attribute2: ''
  // }
}

You have to set a variable to use with textColor. Also, Decode is a good replacement for if...else statements like this.

var color = Decode($datapoint.event_type, 'Incident Activation', '#ADFF8C',
                                          'Discussion-Based Exercise', '#FFC379',
                                          'Operations-Based Exercise', '#71C1FD',
                                          '#FD7F7F')
return {
  textColor: color,
  backgroundColor: '',
  separatorColor:'#adadad',
  selectionColor: '#fcfc86',
  selectionTextColor: '#fcfc86',
   // attributes: {
    // attribute1: '',
    // attribute2: ''
  // }
}
