Hi Alexandre, good idea. I´m now assigning an attribute to the feature I´ve added via the function that is triggered when a feature has been added. It contains a hexadecimal-color (depending on the colorvalue that is chosen in dropdown-menu). In the styleMap I define the fillColor as "${fillColor}". This works perfectly.
