Custom Power BI Visual: Format Panel Numeric Input Contraints

Hello, 

 

I am building a custom visual and have a property "Number of Decimal Places" that is a user input within the format panel.  With the latest FormattingModel utils API, I am using the "NumUpDown" Formatting Property and Numeric in the Capabilities Value Type.  In the microsoft documentation (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/developer/visuals/custom-visual-develop-tutorial-format-o...) it suggests using the following code to constrain the values of a numeric input: 

this.visualSettings = this.formattingSettingsService.populateFormattingSettingsModel(VisualSettingsModel, options.dataViews);
this.visualSettings.circle.circleThickness.value = Math.max(0, this.visualSettings.circle.circleThickness.value);
this.visualSettings.circle.circleThickness.value = Math.min(10, this.visualSettings.circle.circleThickness.value);

However, the formatting panel does not seem to immediately update, you have to click into a different card before the value updates to the contrained value. Is there a method to update the format panel immediately after the code shown above to reflect the contraint? Or a different method to contrain the value within the getFormattingModel() method?

 

Thank you!
