I have two labels on most nodes: a **node-specific label** and a **generic label** (Chunk), which includes a vector and keyword index.

However, in the Neo4j browser, **only** the generic label can be visualized in the browser, and any modifications to the visualization only reflect this generic label.

I want the Neo4j browser to display the node-specific label as the main label driving the visualization.

The problem seems that nodes with multiple labels default to the generic label (Chunk), making it impossible to visually differentiate the nodes in the browser. While I can change the visual settings for each label individually, I cannot set the node-specific label as the primary label to control the browser visualization.

Initially, I added the node-specific labels and then, in post-processing, vectorized certain properties into a generic vector index labeled Chunk. I suspect that because the generic label was added last and so the latests, it now dictates the display/visualization as somehow it has become primary label. I’ve tried removing and re-adding labels to change the order, but this doesn’t work. Additionally, there seems to be no way to set a "primary" label to drive the display for nodes with multiple labels. I’ve also attempted creating indexes without success.

Does anyone have any ideas or advice on how to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

All i have is 19 nodes. Every node has common label :Bus Among those 14 are labeled :LoadBus and 5 are labeled :Ge…

But there is simpler way based on this that worked from me

1. Enter :style in browser query
2. Hit the reset style button bottom left corner of the reply frame to step 1
3. ReEnter you styles as you wish things then response as expected
