How to change fontSize capability limits.

[michal089]

Hi,

I have following problem: i can't define limits of the fontSize  (apparently the upper one is 40 and the lower is 8). Additionaly I have not got a slider beside the input number:

My capabilities.json :

 "objects": {
        "customProperties": {
            "displayName": "Custom Properties",
            "properties": {
                "title": {
                    "displayName": "Title",
                    "type": { "text": true }
                },
                "rotation": {
                    "displayName": "Rotation",
                    "type": { "numeric": true }
                },
                "textSize": {
                    "displayName": "Text Size",
                    "type": {
                        "formatting": {
                            "fontSize": true
                        }
                    }
                }
                
                }
            }
    }

My settings.ts:

import DataViewObjectsParser = powerbi.extensibility.utils.dataview.DataViewObjectsParser;

export class VisualSettings extends DataViewObjectsParser {
  public customProperties: customPropertiesData = new customPropertiesData();
}
export class customPropertiesData {
  public title: string = "Title";
  public rotation: number = 0;
  public textSize: number = 100;
}

Anyone knows a solution? I would be grateful.

Please rename textSize inti something else. For example: "fontSizeValue".

Ok, now I have sth like this:

"fontSizeValue": {
    "displayName": "Text Size",
    "type": {
        "formatting": {
            "fontSize": true
        }
    }
},

And the output is:

-Secondly, is there any option to leave data fields empty and eventually remove dataRoles from capabilities.json ? I am working on a totally static visual that doesn't need any data besides that entered with objects (Format tab). And my Visual is not updating unless I feed it with some data.

Thanks for the reply!

You should use numeric type instead of fontSize as well.

As far as I know, Power BI does not allot to use Custom Visuals w/o filled data fields.

Ok, but now I have just regular input field:

 

And the key goal is to get that fancy field with up/down arrows .

Hi, would you be able to publish the code required to achieve this result please.

I'm trying to produce a visual for a 55" TV in the office and the max font size of 40 on the card visual just isn't enough.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks Evgenii, I look forward to it!

Btw, you can try 

type:{ integer: true} in capabilities

and something like the following:

validValues: {
  yourFieldName: {
    numberRange: {
      min: 10,
      max: 100
   } 
  }
}

There's no way to override limits and keep arrows to increase/decrease values.
