I am changing the sticky notes or shape colors depending on the container it is CONTAINEDBY. I am using conditional logic to do this using a formula. All is working well in lucid chart but once I copy it over to Spark it is lost. Is there a way to make this work. If not is there another way to change shape styles based on data properties that would carry over to Spark?


Thanks for your time

Hi Craig 


Thank you for posting your question in the Lucid Community! As Lucidspark and Lucidchart are two different products each offers different features:



  • Lucidchart is an intelligent diagramming application that includes features such as utilizing data and formulas as well as conditional formatting.

  • Lucidspark is a virtual whiteboard designed for brainstorming and collaborating.


Lucidspark does not support data properties within shapes or conditional formatting so unfortunately you won't be able to copy formatting or data from Lucidchart over to Lucidspark.


I hope this helps and apologies for the inconvenience! Let me know if you have any additional questions. 


Addie thank you for your response.


I do understand the differences between the 2 products. Although we us the 2 products together for presentations. I often create a models in Chart and import them into Spark boards as part of a larger brain-storming session. The data carries over and continues to work in Spark but not the conditional formatting. I was just curious if there was something similar in Spark to conditional formatting. Here's an example: When dragging a sticky note into a container the note changes color depending on the container the top left corner lives in. I'm assuming this doesn't exist but can't hurt to ask.


Thanks

Hi Craig

No problem at all and thank you for asking and sharing your use case - I can certainly see how this would be useful. We're always looking for ways to improve and for new ideas that will better serve you and your workflow. Would you mind adding your idea to our Product Feedback space? Ideas submitted here are passed on to the product development team for their consideration. Thank you for your feedback!


Will do Addie thanks for pointing me in the right direction.


Hi Craig 


Happy to help! Please let us know if you have any additional questions. 


I would also like to see a conditional formatting feature in Spark. One use case would be tagging stickies then being able to change their visual attributes either permanently or or on demand. The visual change could be color, font, font format, shape, etc.


Hi @Kevin Ciotta, thanks for your post! We’re very interested in your feedback and committed to continually improving our products. In the past, we collected feedback on our products via a separate form, which is what was linked above. Now, in order to make requests more discoverable so others can upvote them and add their own context, we use the Product Feedback space of this community to collect feature requests and ideas. I’ve gone ahead and converted this post to an idea there so that it’s visible to others - from here, they can upvote it and add details of their own, like you did! Finally, for more information on how Lucid manages feedback via this community, take a look at this post:
