Type: Feature Request

Use expression to set color properties (text, background etc) from report variable or database field

Hi Telerik team

I'd like to implement customer specific colors based on a report variable or database field.
Currently it looks like the color properties only give us a color picker but does not support using an expression, is this correct?

As for context, I do not know the color in advance and it is used at 100+ different objects.

Same problem with conditional formats

Please let me know how to choose colors based on expressions.
If this is not possible yet, I'd like to request it as a new featur.

Best regards,

Hello Claudio,

Thank you for your input.

Indeed, setting the Style colors directly or through Conditional Formatting with Expressions is not supported. This is a valid feature request.

As a workaround, you may use Bindings for the same purpose:
