Dear friends

I can’t change color of shape when using this model of mental map. Can someone help me please?

Hi ​@Editor_AL 

Just clicking the shape and trying to change the border fill color won’t work, because Lucid fixed those attributes on mind map shapes by design.

To learn more - Mind Map Shape Line | Community

Which explains that mind map shapes have preset color/border behavior

You can change the fill color only if the template permits it
You cannot change line/border color or thickness for the built-in mind map shapes, the option is greyed out or unavailable because it’s built into the mind map shape behavior and not a normal shape style setting.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
