In the help page https://help.alloyapp.io/financial-accounts/budgets/viewing-budgets.html it can be seen that the status items could have their colours changed.
Changing their colours makes the bar graph for budgets much more effective.
We understand that this functionality was removed by the introduction of the CORE context in designs installed by adding modules to prevent system breaking changes from happening when people delete CORE items from these designs.
We'd like the ability to change the colour of these items again in order to better utilise the Budget bar graph, can something be adjusted to allow for this, maybe a read/edit permission with no delete function?
Hi, Sorry to hear that the change to item context has prevented you from being able to change the colour on Items with Core context. We're exploring solutions to this and will provide an update an soon as possible.

Your scenario isn't quite the same as the one I describe in the OP. It's quite specific to the Budget Overview graphs.
However; I think you could achieve your goal in web by utilising a layer with styles that are effected by a "Next Inspection Due" attribute, or maybe even a date last inspected > xx days logic
We also would like to see an implementation of this feature. In our scenario we have a representation of the highways network within Alloy which our inspectors use to conduct safety inspections. When looking at the whole network in the borough it would be a huge quality of life improvement if the roads that require inspection could change colour based on the relative time until their next inspection is due - so for example a road would appear green when there was still some time to go until it required inspection and then turn progressively deeper shades of red as it passed the due date and became more and more overdue. The same could apply to any task.
The Budgets bar graph certainly has less context without this colouring. It would be good to see the Budgets broken down in a very quick visualisation as suggested.
