Limit to adding custom text colours

Hi team,I have an issue where I can’t add more custom colours to text on a LucidSpark board. The interface won’t let me scroll the custom colours to add another one.I don’t care about most of the other custom colours but want to add new ones. The workaround of removing other colours from the board and then refreshing the page is infeasable. I wish it worked like adding custom colours to sticky notes.Here’s what the issue looks like, where the webpage boundaries are visible:

Hide cards on timeline

I love the timeline feature but would like to be able to switch between detailed and high level views depending on the audience (epics/stories).  Is there a way to do this in lucid? Perhaps by tagging each smaller action?

SVG Imports Appear Incorrect

Every time I try to import SVG files, they display incorrectly. Parts of the design are left out or are missing. I’m not sure what the issue is but I’ve tried loading files from different sources and from different machines. I noticed a previous response to a poster said to try in incognito mode in chrome which got the same result.OriginalIn Lucid​​​​

Can I reset visual activities in Lucidspark?

Being able to reset the activity so that it could be repeatable would be really valuable. Estimating stories for example (planning poker)

Issue creating lines from a shape group

I just started experiencing an issue where I can no longer create a line originating from shape group.    Prior to this issue, I had several shapes within a “group”, and would click on that shape group to get the little purple circle to show up, then drag that to another shape to create/connect the line.  This has never been an issue before.However, when I click on that shape group now, the purple circle never appears.  If I click on a single, ungrouped shape, the circle appears, and I can create lines just fine.  Also, if I ungroup the group, I can connect lines from the individual shapes that were within that group.  But I can no longer draw a line from the group itself.  I tried looking for settings that might control this (i.e.  View / Enable Line Connections), but couldn’t find anything that might have changed this behavior.  Is there a setting to get this working again?  Or is this possibly some sort of bug?

Conditional formatting using JIRA data

I am trying to get my Jira cards to change colour according to their workflow status “Status”.I can get it to work fine for the Summary field, but not for status.  Is there a trick to getting this to work, or might something be mis-configured in the back-end?  The status field shows for selection, but no matter what value or criteria I use, it doesn’t want to use my rule.  Anyone have any ideas?

How to add a line from grouped shapes

Hello,I wanted the shape that I reference below but I wanted to:have line/arrow connection points be able to use data to manipulate the text.Creating a group; which is a circle on top of a rectangle gives me the ability to manipulate the text via the data feature. But groups don’t have line connection pointsDownloading the shape as an SVG allow me to have connection points but it doesn’t allow me to use data for the textIs there a solution that gives me both features?

Import pdf thumbnails

This function has always been a bit erratic (often takes an excessively long time to extract). It has however usually worked eventually. Recent attempts have only extracted the first page of the pdf as a thumbnail. This is quite problematic for me as using pdf on the board is a large part of what I want to do. Any advice? It seems like a glitch that needs fixing.

Why are PNG and PDF exports are of such a low quality?

While working around the annoying lack of proper support of layers within presentation builder-- with pages (select the desired layers for a slide, duplicate the page, rename it to “slide-1”, go back to the original, select the desired layers for the next slide, duplicate the page, rename it to “slide-2”, etc)-- and then, trying to export the slide pages…...to PDF, I get some ghost shapes: (I don’t know where this the dark rectangle comes from or how to get rid of it)...and to PNG, the quality just fecal:(all the boxes are actually the same, and should be like the top right one) ...So, why? (I am willing to share my document with anyone willing to investigate this)p.s. I’ve been a paying user for many years, and my functionality requirements haven’t changed too much, so, I have no idea what the guys have been working on there for all these years, since doing something which is not completely primitive results in disappointment like this.

Date fields in Lucid cards not syncing with Jira

I have a Timeline view built for multiple teams to use for a quarterly planning event.  I’d like to take the target planning fields and sync them to JIRA.  All of my other JIRA sync items are working correctly (dependencies and sprint assignment but not date fields).  How can I get this set up so we don’t have to take a timeline view and then translate into JIRA fields manually.

Manage your project using a Gantt Chart in LucidsparkLucid advice

Gantt charts allow you to visualize all tasks for an upcoming project in one location even when the project spans across multiple teams. Gantt charts work similarly to our timeline functionality - namely it lays out individual tasks and their dependencies task ownership task duration and the expected duration of the project as a whole. With each task clearly mapped out and assigned the project manager and their entire team can easily stay on top of deadlines and make sure everyone is accountable for their work.For this example I will be using the Lucidspark Gantt chart template. Click to access the Gantt Chart template. From this template I am beginning with a project that includes three teams. Each team is currently assigned four tasks that will be completed over the course of a year.If I want to reassign a task from Team 2 to Team 1 I click on the task and select the pencil icon to edit details. From here I can change the assignee to Team 1. Instead of reassigning to an existing team

Has anyone else been able to import the Meraki shapes?
