Data Label conditional formatting missing

As of the latest version for both Desktop and Report Server, the conditional formatting Fx marker for the text of a Data Label is missing.  Existing formatting is still working but I can't modify it.  

 

Please tell me I'm just missing it somewhere.  I've looked under every possible option but I can't find it anywhere.

Hi @pabeader ,

To select the field and apply it:

  1. Go to the Visualizations pane. In the Format area, select the General tab, and then set Title to On to show the title options for the visual.

  2. Next to the Title text, select Conditional formatting (fx).

    The Title text - Title dialog box appears.

There are a few limitations to the current implementation of expression-based titles for visuals:

  • Expression-based formatting isn’t currently supported on Python visuals, R visuals, or the Key Influencers visual.
  • The field you create for the title must be a string data type. Measures that return numbers or date/time (or any other data type) aren't currently supported.
  • Expression based titles aren't carried over when you pin a visual to a dashboard.
  • Conditional formatting can only use measures defined in the underlying model and can't use measures locally created in a report (dataset connection).

Please refer to my pbix file.

This is what I see when I try to adjust the conditional formatting for the data label on a column chart.

Sorry.  Thought I was very clear.  DATA LABELS is where the problem is.  Not Title.  DATA LABELS.
