Graph Builder: Color not working for multiple Y axes

Question

Hi everyone,

I have columns, lets call them X, Y1, Y2, and C. Column C has value colors defined.
When I open a new graph builder and drag X on the x axis, Y1 on the y axis and C on color, the dots in the plot show with the right color defined by the value colors of column C.
But when I drag Y2 and drop it on the y axis below Y1 so that I get two graphs, both show with a different coloring than what I defined in the value colors of column C.
When I then drag the column C from color to overlay, the colors show correct again for both graphs.

Why are the color values ignored for column C in "color" for multiple y axes? Is it a bug? I'm using JMP 17.0.0.

Cheers
Rob

Most likely a bug, happens also with JMP17.2.0. Seems to work a bit weirdly, you can add both color and overlay with same column and then disable/enable it from variables

If your scales for the Y1 and Y2 are similar, you could stack the data and plot it that way (as a workaround).
