Chart Color Palette Enhancements
Administrators can now choose from a range of color palettes to apply to the charts in a model.
The Custom palette can be tailored to any range of colors, which is useful if you want to apply corporate branding.
Custom chart palettes are configured for each individual model. Chart color palettes are available from Model Settings > Dashboards > View > Chart Palettes.
Where there are more than nine series in a chart, colors are repeated. If a new series is added to a chart, it adopts the next color in the sequence in the palette. When a series is removed, colors for all series are recalculated; they don't retain the colors they were originally assigned.
It's easy to create your own custom color scheme for charts - click Edit Custom Palette and select from the palette presented or enter 6-digit hex codes.
A chart color palette can be changed at any time. The colors are applied the next time the model is loaded.

Bar Chart Enhancement - Adjustable Y-axis Label
You can now view long labels on the Y-axis of a Bar Chart.
Prior to this release, long labels were truncated, which could make them difficult to read:
Now, chart labels are adjusted to fit without compromising the detail on the chart.

Modeling & Usability
Dependent Dropdowns & Selective Access
Administrators can now create dropdowns that support dependent relationships and selective access.
On the Format dialog, you can select both Filter check boxes: Dependent and Selective Access (selective access must be applied to the list first).
This provides a much finer level of granularity when configuring dropdown filtered picklists.
See more: Selective Access and Dependent Relationships
Model History
The model change history now captures detail on re-mapped import sources.
When you:
- add a new mapping
- edit an existing mapping
- remove a mapping
a specific change is now recorded in the change history table.
Previously, these changes were recorded with the general description, Model change (no details available).

Scientific notation no longer applied when editing numbers in a grid
When editing 7-digit line items of type Number that are not formatted as percentage, scientific notation is no longer applied. The original numbers are now retained in decimal notation.
