Color of trackable too close to default gray color about flaredown HOT 10 CLOSED

Well that's a bug -- grey isn't one of our colors! I think maybe this trackable hasn't been assigned a color yet for some reason.

I got this too today:

Routing to the chart and back and refreshing the page did not fix.
The funny thing is that I added two new trackables within seconds, but only one the first one got this grey color. I wonder if this is the point at which colors start over and repeat, and there's some index mismatch?

Just added several trackables and got a lot of repeating of the same blue color:

(This is not very high priority unless it is a simple fix)

Adding this to launch because multiple users are reporting it

@lmerriam I've fixed the root causes of the issue and now it works fine for new users who haven't done onboarding yet. In order to fix it for existing users, I need to run ad-hoc scripts to ensure that each trackable in their checkins has a different color than the others. To do so, I'll need to put the app in maintenance mode during this night (your time)

Nice! I'm fine with putting the app in maintenance.

@lmerriam Fixing colors on existing data in order to avoid duplications was a challenge, there might still be edge cases where duplicates are still there - e.g.: when all colors have been used on a user's trackables over time, repetition could happen within the same trackables' subgroup (e.g. conditions)
A further optimization could be o avoid such repetition. I would suggest to fix individual cases that might happen as users report them, and open a new issue labeled as "enhancement" to tackle later.

from flaredown.

Absolutely, that is the right call. I do not want to spend a lot of time fixing a few remaining cases if it's been fixed for users going forward.
