question on column coloring

Jade Aislin · 07-08-2012, 03:37 AM

Is there a way to use the column coloring feature to color specific tags in one column? Or will it color everything in the column one color?

For example:

If I have the rules,
Set the color of #char to Blue if the following conditions are met:
* If the #char1 has pattern value: TagA
Set the color of #char to Red if the following conditions are met:
* If the #char1 has pattern value: TagB

Then I have a book that has both values, I want to see TagA and TagB color coded in the same column.

It is all or nothing in any multi-value column. (tags, authors)

Color other, different (visible) columns.
If Contains A then color Date
If contains B then color Author
If contains C then color Title

Avoid conditions that conflict unless your rules take that fully into consideration.

That's what I thought, but it didn't hurt to confirm.

Thanks for your responses.
