Why is Styles for a Multistate indicator an “Expert” property? Just to change the text of the display you have to go to “expert”. Seems like this is something that you modify would use for every display you create.

I’m glad you asked! That is not the typical way to alter the styles of the multistate indicator.

Use the Styles customizer! Right click on the component, go to Customizers, and look at the Styles customizer. This is the normal way to alter the styles dataset.
