Color picker

Hi there!

I'm creating my own visuals and couldn't find the right place in the documentation how to add 'revert to default' button to the color picker in capabilities.json file. On figure 1 we have this button, I would like to have the same button in the color picker on figure 2

@dm-p Could you help me with it? Or any idea? 🙏🙏

Regards

Hi @Anonymous,

There are no capabilities for this I believe it's a (somewhat irritating) regression in the colour picker from before it got overhauled in core Power BI (early last year IRRC) - it always used to have a 'reset to default' and now it only seems to be present in the conditional formatting dialog. This can be confirmed by checking any of the core visual colour properties, e.g., from the core line chart:

There is an idea for MS to add it back here.

Daniel

This is so stupid... there is no way to revert back to "blank/null" once you picked a color.
