Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

This is one of those things that bug me but are not important in the scheme of things.

In P6, when you go to a group and sort menu and select to change a bar colour you have the option to define custom colours and 16 places to store these. Problem being, the defined colours are not stored so there is no point in defining more than one.

Does anyone know how to store defined colours?

And again...6 years later, not possible to store the custom colours, they will disappear on "OK" (you can only change the full appearance at this time and store the layout). I'm using 16.2, anyone heard of a solution?

 

 Not possible to store the custom colours but it is possible to store the layout.
