Importing older versions of custom visual (Radar chart)

[BastiaanBrak]

Hi, I would like to use a previously released version of the Radar Chart in a report because I need the old implementation of the data labels, not the current one. 

However, after locally saving the 0.5.10 version from GitHub, then trying to load it into Power BI Desktop, it brings up the current version (1.3.1).

1. Is this expected behaviour? 

2. Does this mean we can't use previous versions of a Custom visual or are there ways round this?

Thanks, Bastiaan

Hi @BastiaanBrak ,

I downloaded the custom visual file and get the same issue. You can post your idea here, maybe it will be a feature of Power BI in the future.

Thanks for looking into this @v-eachen-msft. Just wondering, after posting my query I found this page on the Microsoft Power BI Blog re deprecation of older APIs for custom visuals. The "apiVersion" property in the pbiviz.json file is set to 1.3.0, could that possibly cause the issue?

You could reach out to pbicvsupport@microsoft.com(Power BI Custom Visuals Support) for more details.
