The "Maximum number of series (50) exceeded" warning, reword it, make it sticky, and document it.

Upon receiving the warning "Maximum number of series (50) exceeded", the warning does not reappear with a widget, dashboard, or page refresh. Instead, a filter change is required in order to trigger it again. IMO the warning should persist with refreshes and be visible every time due to the impact of the limitation being exceed - data is literally missing from the widget and the widget does not reflect the data set expected by the user. 

To that end of being clear about the impact of having more series than the limitation allows, the warning would be best reworded to indicate that impact and avoid users making decisions on an uncontrolled subset of data. For example, "Results limited to maximum number of series (50)..." or "Data limited..."

This limitation should also be documented in Sisense documentation, but is not currently.

    Hi,
    You can use this solution; just be careful, as this can freeze your browser:
    1)
    widget.manifest.data.panels.forEach(function(p){
    p.metadata.maxitems = 100; //replace with the number you need
    })

    2)
    widget.style.dataLimits.seriesCapacity=100; //replace with the number you need

      Thanks for responding! I can appreciate having the option to expand the included data set, but this feedback is less about working around the limit and more about always displaying the message, rewording the message, and documenting the limitation.
