Elseif SkinParam doesn't seem to use the ActivityDiamond

Question

I'm trying to use skin params and while the If, else skin just fine, the diamond created by the elseif does not... 

@startuml
skinparam activity {
   BackgroundColor #00538D
   BorderColor #00538D
   BorderThickness 1
   BorderRoundCorner 1
   ArrowColor #8CC63E
   FontName Helvetica
   FontColor White
   DiamondBackgroundColor #00538D
   DiamondBorderColor #00538D
   DiamondFontName Helvetica
   DiamondFontColor White
}
title If else elseif example
if (If Text) then (yes)
:Do Something;
else (No)
endif
if (Option A) then 
:A Thing>
elseif (Option B)
:B Thing>
elseif (Option C)
:C thing>
endif

Comments

Looks like that some entities are used for the "if / else if" construct (I like not to reuse colors for test cases like these so it will be even more clear what is the problem and what influences what):
   DiamondBackgroundColor #ffffff
   DiamondBorderColor #ff0000
   DiamondFontName Helvetica
   DiamondFontColor #00ff00
just not the DiamondFontColor. It looks like the DiamondFontColor  is only used in a simple "if / else" construct.

Thanks for the report : it's actually a bug

It should be fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

Tell us if it's not working for you

Generally using Planttext.com and the plugin in confluence so no good way of testing - but thanks for the response - always good to know i'm not doing something wrong/stupid.

Looks like it is not yet / anymore working or it is not clear how it should work: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54267722/how-to-replicate-flowchart-using-plantuml-or-graphviz

I'm confuse : the following example is working for me
http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/VOvDIyD048Rl-oi6l3ItIb5A1Ma-5BrKq83d9PasG_OZx4vgY_ZVtMGZYXWloV0yxxopMy_ISQ-Ly2sPJZgfGLPCH-8pl0i0o6JL7fpjJPrRPHrSB9TNgtKnAkjgT3EuRAXg3NeFbz_mEVOuWoxYr3dxDZMiy_nwTJVGUsju9pN20weZCbNoYyReQqEC0of8QclgVzuu9UBvEVltlKd-FliXc5WXFEu1bSVnGs4-ITqf565S15NYYHFW1WqipkWJiIail5YDt90vt8XnTR6pYK1JqtvSU-gOh85qsXER5CeXVJkcVoIoK9VDk3ou73YwsBqDlrwhJm00
Could you post here a non-working example ?
Thanks!

The example from the stackoverflow site

@startuml

skinparam linetype ortho
skinparam backgroundColor #ff000000

skinparam ActivityDiamondBackgroundColor red

skinparam activity {

BorderColor<<cond>> #58d68d
BackgroundColor<<step1>> #58d68d
BorderColor<<step1>> #58d68d
ArrowColor #Black
DiamondBackgroundColor red
DiamondBorderColor blue
FontName Impact
}

(*) -down[#black]-> "Evaluate loss index"  as step1 <<step1>>
step1 -down-> if "" as conif then
-left[#black]-> [Stopping criteria = true] "Improve neural network parameters

    * Calculate quasi-Newton training direction

Ok, thanks for the example.
This has been fixed in last beta http://beta.plantuml.net/plantuml.jar

As workaround, you can use this
http://www.plantuml.com/plantuml/uml/RL4zRzim4DtvAmxAqWOGaAAraI4nyj4Qw9AbO-3XB9uImXHFFHxj6aN_UqdPi0r5N8xI-z3JkuUeA9ewR-B6XHu5E_0kaEvxWfxzlZnCOIpwpXV06flDct0Azfaz2rorxSrmp0NfiL6tTRf_6f65x1IBnP8S66kVwD89ZnpuQqPcTtUkLKcqMEGCt-pDrzOSZSReSZcVpsOVzGq7M_3PhPtVshDw2XjherB_PK8y2JwAyEvOrvFFLkQxmuw3dUZd18rBMNBG5-m8VdOzDch-6VFf-ZFKbdVXzMfTR5Vr0geVM_G9bS1pZE22fJyL04OOKi4fdHdcGPzrheMgAhI6GxxhEmKmjQTMBynVVodtlGjlq8XJ4eTm3wNc5LGvbl2M850Iz7deZcK3mnefSwE1VExp6IxNy8o-IRua_Pqmklg5Tie1LD25yWdhX1fr7CRyCqLGQGXzM3QSjswER-hKd_CVAZ3a8nNFSNVJlzTYfgyWTsqeMDUQXpnIv_y3
with current version.

Note that both syntaxes are working with the new beta.
Tell us if it helps!

I tested the stackoverflow version with the newest beta (PlantUML version 1.2019.01beta4) and it gave the, for me, expected results (version PlantUML version 1.2019.01beta3 didn't).
The workaround as shown in the comment from @plantuml works in bot cases.
