Not able to click multiple charts at once

Hi, 
I am not able to click multiple visuals at once so that i can update them at the same time? Has there been any change in the recent releases? I am on the December release and about to upgrade to March next week.

 

I've tried going through almost every setting and option with no success...

@Chad_Sharpe You should be able to hold down the Ctrl key while selecting visuals.

As of a month or so ago it was fine and i used it all the time. Now.... after I ctl click on two of the same type visuls i get this "formatting options are unavailable for this visual".. it's odd as it appeared to happen out of the blue.

@Chad_Sharpe So, for that to work, you need to select visuals of the same type typically.

Same visuals and all.... here are two simply tables. The moment I click the second table and try to format i get the blank formatting options available. I can only assume it's a setting that somehow changed over the past month or so? But I have no idea what that setting might be. I'm at the point now where i think i may just uninstall and reinstall the App to see if it changes.

@Chad_Sharpe I don't have this issue with the April 2024 version so may have been a bug in the particular version you are using. Also, would recommend that you turn off all/most preview features as something with those might be throwing things off. In particular, I would disable on-object formatting for example. I tried this with both table and matrix visuals in the April 2024 version and it's all good.

I've tried everything.... removing the preview features, uninstalling and reinstalling to default settings. I'm convinced at this point it's a bug in package. We have a new one coming out this week (March update) .... fingers crosssed it's back to normal. This individual update per visual adds half an hour to each build.
