ArcGIS Dashboards Serial Chart — Can bar colors be driven by category/subtype values?

MohamedTahaAlmakkiMohamed

Hi everyone,

I am working in ArcGIS Dashboards and using a Serial Chart based on a data expression.

My Arcade expression groups the data by the field "Use" and calculates:

- parcel_count = COUNT

- total_area = SUM(area_field)

Example:

var p = Portal('https://www.arcgis.com');

var fs = FeatureSetByPortalItem(

'<item_id>',

['Use', 'area_field'],

false

);

return GroupBy(

fs,

['Use'],

[

{ name: 'parcel_count', expression: '1', statistic: 'COUNT' },

{ name: 'total_area', expression: 'area_field', statistic: 'SUM' }

]

);

The chart is working correctly and shows one category per use type on the axis. However, the colors are applied by series:

- one color for total_area bars

- one color for parcel_count markers/line

What I need is different:

I want each bar/category under "Use" to have its own color based on the subtype/category value itself, ideally matching the subtype or layer symbology if possible.

My questions are:

Is it possible in ArcGIS Dashboards Serial Chart to color bars by category/subtype instead of by series?
If not, is there any workaround to make subtype/category colors appear in a Serial Chart?
Can Dashboards read subtype/layer symbology colors directly into chart categories?

From what I understand, Serial Charts in Dashboards seem to apply color at the series level, and I found related Esri Community posts/ideas asking for bar color by category and for using layer symbology in Dashboard charts.

Any guidance or recommended workaround would be appreciated.

Thanks.
