Cannot color surfaces by data arrays generated by Process Ids filter

Description

Buggy behavior originally reported here: https://discourse.paraview.org/t/generate-process-ids-doesnt-work/15639/

After applying the Process Ids filter in ParaView when in client/server mode, coloring by the generated "PointProcessIds" or "CellProcessIds" does not work and results in the surface being solid colored.

Steps to reproduce

  • Start pvserver with 4 processes, connect client to it
  • Add Wavelet source
  • Add Process Ids filter. Check the "Generate Cell Data" property.
  • Change representation to "Surface". Color by "Solid Color" and change the color to something other than white.
  • Now color by "PointProcessIds". The color will remain the solid color. Color by the "CellProcessIds". The color will remain the solid color. This is a bug.

Configuration

  • Operating system and version: macOS 14.6.1
  • ParaView executable and version: 5.13.1-692-gd4f46b5763
  • ParaView configuration: Client/server
