The `ExportChartsCommand` exports `params` as-is, only removing a few top-level metadata keys like `datasource_type` and `url_params` [[1]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/chart/export.py#L63-L65). Similarly, the import code doesn't reset `color_scheme` either [[2]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/chart/importers/v1/utils.py#L46-L86). So the question becomes: **why is it reverting for you?** A few possibilities: 1. **The color scheme was never saved in the chart's `params` to begin with.** If the color was only set at the dashboard level (via dashboard `json_metadata`), the chart's own `params` may not contain `color_scheme` at all. When it's missing, the frontend falls back to `supersetColors`. You can verify this by checking the exported YAML file — look for `color_scheme` inside the `params` block and see if it's actually there. 2. **Dashboard color metadata override.** There's a [reported issue](https://github.com/apache/superset/issues/38514#issuecomment-4022881273) where dashboard-level color settings (`shared_label_colors`, `map_label_colors`) override chart-level color schemes. Even if the chart has the correct `color_scheme` in params, the dashboard metadata can take precedence after import. Regarding your **dashboard export only showing 1 of 3 charts**: the export logic does include all charts from the dashboard's slice list and even appends "orphan" charts referenced in the layout position [[3]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/dashboard/export.py#L154-L163). However, there's a potential issue in the import logic — a `break` statement when processing chart UUIDs could stop processing remaining charts if a UUID match isn't found [[4]](https://github.com/apache/superset/blob/829e4d92d91ceae4b43b1ed3b063ffe45377799c/superset/commands/importers/v1/assets.py#L145-L163). Could you check: - Does the exported ZIP file contain all 3 chart YAML files under the `charts/` folder? - If yes, the issue is on the import side. If not, something is going wrong during export. This would help narrow down whether the problem is with export or import. <!-- Dosu Comment Footer --> *To reply, just mention [@dosu](<https://go.dosu.dev/dosubot?utm_source=github&utm_medium=bot-comment&utm_campaign=github-comment-footer-20260415&utm_content=reply-with-mention&utm_term=apache%2Fsuperset>).* --- Docs are dead.
