Every time I create a NEW chart I get this error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/c/c09f8b64aaacab9ecd64f97a871aee41cbd0e240.png) Even though I haven’t added any filters/criteria yet. What is causing this error? Once I remove State field from COLOR (I didn’t add it there), chart works fine. ---

Are you saying that when you create a new report from scratch, it already has the State field chosen for Color coding? That sounds weird. If it’s reproducible, can you record a video. I note that the description also has something written. Did you do that? And the y-axis? Did you set Count of Records? ---

Yes, that’s right, sir. I will record a video for you. If you meant the description on the top - no - it was autogenerated. No, I didn’t set any counters. They were already there. I just picked up the Cumulative view “template” for my CRM/Person db when was creating the report view and that’s how it did come out. Anyway, I will record the video a bit later today. Thanks Chris. ---

Ah, OK. It was from a template. I guess it shouldn’t suggest a cumulative chart template for a db that doesn’t have a state field. The video will be useful for us to reproduce, thanks. ---

PS: The caption of the report is misleading: it lists all databases that report view initially offered me to base my report on - but I actually chose just 1 of them (Person). ---

Interesting. And you say that the Person db actually does have a State field? What happens if you drop that back into the Color coding option (after removing the original broken field)? ---

Thx. We’ll dig into it and let you know when it’s fixed.
