labelcolor for items with {…} ignored, when the item is unfolded

[dilyanpalauzov]

I have openHAB-Android 3.6.2-beta. An item in sitemap has the form

Text item=e3_power labelcolor=[e3_color=="yellow"="yellow",e3_color=="gold"="gold",e3_color=="olive"="olive",
  e3_color=="orange"="orange", e3_color=="red"="red",e3_color=="maroon"="maroon"] {
          Switch item=e3
          Text item=e3_energy
          Default item=e3_lastTg
          Text item=e3_rssi
}

That is: it has dynamic color. Clicking on the item puts the item on the top of the (narrow) screen and displays the sub-items. On narrow screens the parent elements are not shown.

Once the item is put on the top, it does not display the color anymore.

Can you add some screenshots so I understand this issue better?

With this sitemap:

sitemap z label="Z" {
  Text item=e3_power labelcolor=["yellow"] {
    Switch item=e3
  }
}

What is yellow on the first picture (Помпа маза 1W), shall be yellow on the second picture (where is written Помпа маза 168 W)

The icon is also shown on the first picture, but not on the second.

I thought about this as well two years ago (#1053), but in the end I didn't like the result and therefore closed by feature request. I guess that it isn't MD3 compliant to color the text in the action bar, but I could be wrong. At least I haven't seen another app doing this.

The current behaviour looses information.

[mueller-ma]

The app bar title is loaded from a linked page: https://github.com/openhab/openhab-android/blob/main/mobile/src/main/java/org/openhab/habdroid/model/LinkedPage.kt#L30-L33
That class (and the corresponding API request) contains the title as string without the labelcolor or any reference to an Item where the labelcolor could be looked up.

@maniac103 Do you think it's worth to extend the REST API to make this working?
