actionButton json parameters

israelcevans — Mon, 07 Oct 2019 21:51:22 GMT

Hello!

I'm currently working my way through the exciting adventure of theming a PowerBi file via json. My current roadblock is the apparent lack of documentation on the parameters inside the actionButton visual.

the post by tmckenzie here: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Developer/actionButton-Power-BI-JSON-Theme/m-p/694679/highlight/true#M19437 was very helpful in getting me started with the fill attributes, but I haven't found anything equivalent for setting the fontColor or fontSize of the Button Text. Would anyone have any more leads on where I should look to figure this out?

This cheatsheet is pretty handy: https://curbal.com/blog/power-bi-template-to-create-report-themes-with-the-json-template

This resource post is also pretty great: https://community.powerbi.com/t5/Desktop/Report-Theme-File-Advanced-JSON-Commands-Parameters/m-p/765429#M368815

Thank you for any assistance.

Thank you for this @v-yuta-msft .

This definitely looks interesting. I haven't figured out a way to find out what json paremeters there are in an action button yet, but I'll keep playing with it.

I looked at a few other items and when I run "Get Visual Capabilities", the json that's returned doesn't seem to be as complete a listing as I've seen elsewhere in the links mentioned previously. Is this the right function to determine what's available to theme in a theme.json file?

Thanks,
