Hotspot to toggle conditional formatting in Lucid

Thanks Emma

Understand the approach but probably not viable for our use case. Might as well manual delete the shapes as remove the conditional formatting.

Would be a super powerful thing to be able to toggle the conditional formatting as grouped shapes above are driven by data icons backgrounds etc. Would make for a very dynamic experience & provide a lot of clarity to a complex data set.

Thanks.

PS. I should clarify I have set the conditional formatting rules on all shape I"m trying to develop a template (of sorts) that can be used by many users.

Each shapeType has been given a distinct value & this is forms part f the formula for the conditional formatting.

Hi Joel thanks for clarifying. Do you mean that toggling the visibility of layers wouldn't work specifically because the shapes are grouped? If so you might be able to achieve this with a different layer for each shape copied from the group. You could use the same conditional formatting rules and formulas to add the icons to the shapes on other layers. But I do understand that this workaround might not be feasible if you have a large number of shapes that you would need to create layers for.

I should also mention that you can selectively unapply and apply conditional formatting rules just not from a hotspot. This can be done from the conditional formatting menu. Please this conditional formatting article for more information on this. 

If you would like to see an option to apply/unapply conditional formatting rules using hospots would you mind submitting your idea to this feature request form? Feedback submitted here goes to our Product team for consideration so this is the best way to promote a new feature you would like to see. 

Hi! I need to color Shape with action set. They highlighted when I press Ctrl + Shift? but i heed to set background on shapes which have an Action (Ideally different colors for different actions.)
It there any way to do it?

Hi Alexey

Thanks for posting in the Lucid Community!

It is a little bit challenging to assist you as I am not entirely sure I understand what you are trying to achieve. Would you be able to post a screenshot of what you mean?

Hi Alexy and Joel wanted to update this thread with good news! It's now possible to trigger conditional formatting rules using Actions - learn more in this Add Actions to a diagram article from the Lucidchart Help Center.
