Hi all,

I need help regrading time series chart in which i want to change the style (color, font etc.) of Y-axis by designer.  
But i am unable to find the style properties of only Y-axis I have attached the snapshot of my chart for reference. TIA

It's in the `trend` property. You need to add an axis there, and setup the trend to use your series and your axis.

BUT. I tried and couldn't get much out of this. I couldn't get neither the `axes.style` nor the `axes.tick.style` to apply. Even the `tick.color` seem to have no effect.  
I don't have time to whip out the dev tools and dig into it, but I'd be inclined to believe things don't work as expected. Not as I'd except, at least.

What works for me:

- Add a style Test/ChartAxis

- 
  - Expand Shape

- 
  - Edit either Fill or Stroke, it doesn't seem to matter which. Pick a color.

- 
  - Edit stroke width if desired. Somewhere between 0.5rem and 0.1rem seems to be ok.

- 
  - None of the other style cues seem to matter (text color, text size, background color) in the style. Edit - if you delete the Axis Label Tick Font then you can set text size and color in the style.

- Drop a new Time Series Chart onto the design surface

- Change the style to ISO101/Displaycolor/DisplayBackground

- Expand plots,

- 
  - Add Axis,

- 
  - 
    - set name to "Axis 1",

- 
  - 
    - set style to "Test/ChartAxis",

- 
  - 
    - set tick style to "Test/ChartAxis",

- 
  - 
    - set tick label style to "Test/ChartAxis", or set the tick label font color and size if you must

- 
  - Add Trend,

- 
  - 
    - set series to Boiler,

- 
  - 
    - set axis to "Axis 1"

It seems that until you add an axis, add a trend, and associate them together it uses the defaults.
