The problem is: for the line graph, the color of the series and the legend marker is coming different. Is it possible to set the color of the legend marker. I am setting the color of the series according to the group values but the legend marker is showing a different color than that.

How about posting some code you already have

I used the style with one of my graphs and it looks fine.

Could it be something to do with the template?

If all the group values are there(eg:A,B,C) it works fine but if one of the group is absent then it displays differently. Like if A is absent then the legend marker will still display the color of series A.

Are you able to repro with one of the IBI sample files ?

This way we can run the code and check it.

I have created the graph with the CAR file. You can see that I am not able to control the color of the marker in the legend. I want the marker in the legend to have the same color as the series.

Looks like it is something to do with the conditional styling.

I removed it and the markers ended up the same as the lines.
