colormap doesn't work with bar plots in 2019a

I have been changing the colormap in bar charts for decades. It doesn't seem to work now with bar charts in 2019a.

Previously all I had to do to change the colormap in an existing bar chart to copper: colormap copper

Now it does nothing.

Not sure if it's changed, but here's an example borrowed from the doc on bar.

y = [1 3 5; 3 2 7; 3 4 2];
b = bar(y,'FaceColor',"flat");
for k = 1:size(y,2)
    b(k).CData = k;
end

If I want to use a different colormap, I could do this.

colormap copper
y = [1 3 5; 3 2 7; 3 4 2];
b = bar(y,'FaceColor',"flat");
for k = 1:size(y,2)
    b(k).CData = k;
end

Thanks Cris. That works and I'm back running again. It's now a much more complicated way to change the colormap in a bar plot. In the past, we didn't have to go back and change the CData for each bar. Kind of frustrating since previous scripts plotting with bar and colormap no longer work. Thanks again.
