Custom Bar Chart Colours Not Working

Hi,

I have the following search in an ES dashboard panel to order incidents throughout the month by severity in a bar chart:

| incident_review | where _time >= relative_time(now(), "-7d")
| chart count by urgency
| eval sort_field=case(urgency=="high",1, urgency=="medium",2, urgency=="low",3, urgency=="informational",4)
| sort sort_field
| fields - sort_field
| rename urgency as "Severity"

This shows the chart in the following format:

Though when attempting to add colours to each severity level via the XML dashboard I'm not seeing any results:

    <option name="charting.fieldColors">{"high":0xFF0000,"medium":0xFFFF00,"low":0x00FF00}</option>
    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisNone</option>
    <option name="charting.axisLabelsX.majorLabelStyle.rotation">0</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleX.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleY.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisTitleY2.visibility">visible</option>
    <option name="charting.axisX.abbreviation">none</option>
    <option name="charting.axisX.scale">linear</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY.abbreviation">none</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY.scale">linear</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY2.abbreviation">none</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY2.enabled">0</option>
    <option name="charting.axisY2.scale">inherit</option>
    <option name="charting.chart">column</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.bubbleMaximumSize">50</option>

    <option name="charting.chart.bubbleSizeBy">area</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.nullValueMode">gaps</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.showDataLabels">none</option>
    <option name="charting.chart.sliceCollapsingThreshold">0.01</option>

    <option name="charting.chart.style">shiny</option>
    <option name="charting.drilldown">none</option>
    <option name="charting.layout.splitSeries">0</option>
    <option name="charting.layout.splitSeries.allowIndependentYRanges">0</option>
    <option name="charting.legend.labelStyle.overflowMode">ellipsisEnd</option>
    <option name="charting.legend.mode">standard</option>
    <option name="charting.legend.placement">none</option>
    <option name="charting.lineWidth">2</option>
    <option name="refresh.display">progressbar</option>
    <option name="trellis.enabled">0</option>
    <option name="trellis.scales.shared">1</option>
    <option name="trellis.size">medium</option>

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,

Have you tried transposing the results? I got this to work with your XML:

| makeresults 
| eval urgency="high"
| append
    [| makeresults 
| eval urgency="medium"]
| append
    [| makeresults 
| eval urgency="low"]
| append
    [| makeresults 
| eval urgency="informational"]
| chart count by urgency
| transpose 0 header_field=urgency
| table count high medium low informational
