    Hey NancySummit ,

    Thanks for sharing the feedback. 
    Please find a dash file with possible solution and related action.

    1. Create the action - the action is for switching the first column in Pie/Line/Column/Area/Bar chart
    2. Update the dashboard Script with related OID and Color - the dashboard script is for keeping the selected color after refresh the dashboard 
    3. Update the related Widget OID/OID's in the Blox 

    Example

    Hope this will resolve the issue 

    Best regards

    Hey NancySummit ,

    I'm happy to hear it's resolve the issue!

    You can specify 2 measures in the same chart.
    The blox action will replace the first measure as it hard-coded for (Item[0])
    In case needed, you may consider duplicating the action with different name and set hard coded to item[1] for replacing the secondary measure if needed. 

    Here is an example with secondary measure: Selecting the Revenue

    Selecting the Quantity

    Best Regards

Hey NancySummit ,

The Action Shared in the Community article should work for Line Chart as well without the need of readjusting the Action or even if there's not an Indicator.
In the Blox Action there's a differentiate between Indicator or the rest of the Widget types. 

The Sisense widgets has different panels for Rows, Measures, Columns, Filters. 
the Panels Can be different between Widget types.

Indicator widgets doesn't have Rows/Group by so the measure switcher Code refer to the Panels[0].items[0] which is the Primary indicator. 

For Other widget types, such as Column Chart, Bar Chart, Line Chart, Area Chart - the Panels[1].items[0] refer to the First measure as present below. 
Therefore, it's not require additional adjustment for Line Chart and it shall work. 

For the Buttons to Display, can you please share an example of the related issue?

Best Regards

    Thank you!  I follow what you're saying about the "else" and I verified my code is the same as yours (to make sure I didn't accidentally edit it). But as soon as I delete my indicator widget from the dashboard, the buttons just stay in the default as indicated in the widget script for the line chart.  The line chart values change correctly when the buttons are clicked, but the button colors do not cycle along with it.  In the image below, the first button "Avg MSA Med Exp" was clicked.  The line chart reflects that value but the button is the default gray as indicated in the widget script of the line chart.  

    I'm attaching the line chart widget script.  The only edits I made to this part from the original post was to add another button.  Appreciate your help!
