Merged idea

Need better response to changing a duplicated visualization (w new data table) Merged

I have a nice bar chart viz that I spent time configuring to be "just right". I have to make another one just like it but with a different data table. Same columns and types except that one column has a slightly different name (e.g., "Account Name" vs "Service Name"). I duplicate the viz, then change the data table. I get the "default" bar chart viz - Spotfire did not even try to map columns to axes, which it could have been easily done. 

 

Spotfire client should do more to try to map columns to visualization primitives, just like mapping columns when the underlying data changes.
