Hi,
I want to add checkboxes for multi-selection (see screenshot) to a custom format pane, but I cant find any documentation how to implement them.
For now I am helping myself with ToggleSlices, which gets the job done, but they are not quite checkboxes.
Any ideas and replies appreciated! 🙂
These checkboxes are a composite control - in the case of your example above, this is a MarginPadding control. It will render all four checkboxes, and you need corresponding properties to manage their state. You cannot rename the checkboxes as they have an intended purpose.
If you want to manage a single control per property (and assuming it's a boolean value), the established pattern is to use a toggle control, which is consistent with how other visuals handle these property types.
Regards,
Daniel

Hi @tea_again,
as of my knowledge Power BI has no such feature out of the "box" 😅
But with the new button slicer you might get something you like. Here is a example with a year slicer, but without the checkboxes.
Best regards!
If this helps, give kudos or mark as solution.
