Gantt 1.14.3 Data Label Position resetting

Hi All,

 

Not sure if this is the correct place to post, but it seems to be a bug in the Gantt 1.14.3 visualization where the Data Label Position setting resets back to Top when navigating away from the tab and back again. There are only two options, Top and Right, and each time I set it to Right, navigate away from the tab and back again, that setting has reset to Top. 

 

Thanks.

    Hi Anonymous ,

     

    I tested in both desktop and service, the Data Label won't force its position to "Right" automatically after I set it to "Top". I also tested to switch across multiple report pages, still could not reproduce this problem. 

     

    Please update your desktop to the latest one for a test. If problem persists, please share the problematic PBIX file with me for check. Do mask sensitive data before sharing.

     

    Best regards,

    Yuliana Gu

    I am having the same issue. The data labels default to Inside. Also, when selecting "top" location for the labels, the today line does not stretch all the way down.  Can't send my file, suggest you test on an old gantt chart that was updated, not on a new one. 

     

    update: I got the latest Power Bi update and the problem persists. I tried creating a new gantt. On a NEW gant the labels don't default back to "inside" after selecting "top", but the today line remains short, only covering half of the page.

     

    Also, is there an option to use the colors I selected instead of the lighter version that it is defaulting to? Lastly, the gridlines... are the optional? I can't fine the toggle to turn them off. Please help...

     

    Time sensitive for me... no pressure :) 

     

    Thanks!

    I have the same issue but with Gantt 2.2.3.

     

    I was working on the browser and I set up the data label to be on the "right".

    Then, I go to another page and when I am back, the data label is set to "inside".

     

    Hope you and fix it.

     

    Edit: just noticed that it is ok if the tasks are not grouped.

    If they are grouped, the data label will not appear in the right.

    I also am struggling with this issue. I published the report just to have a colleague point out that the labels were inside the bars rather than above the bars as we had decided in the development phase. When I checked on the desktop end, the labels had reverted to inside, sure enough, and the data label formatting dropdown said, "top" but will not display top no matter what I do. I have V2.139, and, based on old comments, this particular bug doesn't seem to have been resolved after 5 years. Things I have tried: -removing the Resource and dragging it back in. -toggling the dropdown in data label between the 3 options (top, inside, outside) -changing the Task Settings size (back to default, then up and down) -changing the Category Labels font size -adjusting padding Soooo, I need some options here that do not involve rebuilding the report since it's already in client use. The best resolution I have since the bars have been color-coded with 5 color along with % completion shading, my only recourse has been to keep the top positioning and change the label to a light-medium gray that contrasts well enough with both the bars and, if the description of the resource is long enough, also contrasts with the white background so users can still fully read the label. This is an imperfect solution though as one bar happens to be a medium yellow and gray reads poorly in this use. Please advise!
