Visio edit data graphic properties

I use Visio 2016 which lets me add data graphics to my shapes. For example I can add a text label and customise it to some degree.

I'd like to have a text label with a red background on the left side of the shape and another with a green background on the right side, however the fill type only lets me choose between one color or no color at all.

The only function I found lets me adjust the color of the shape which doesn't help much.

Once you have set fill type as "Filled" you need to right click the text label and set it's fill color as mentioned here https://blogs.office.com/2013/05/30/data-linked-diagrams-multiple-data-graphics-with-a-single-shape/ "If you want to change the fill of the data graphic, select that element and change the fill as you would for any other shape." Just make sure that you are actually selecting the text label and not the shape. see sample image
